Describe two biological therapies for schizophrenia and then evaluate each in terms of effectiveness (8 + 16 marks): One biological therapy is the use of typical anti-psychotic drugs‚ such as Chlorpromazine. The main aim of this drug is to treat schizophrenia by reducing the amount of dopamine in the brain. This is because high levels of dopamine are thought to cause schizophrenia‚ therefore by reducing the amount of dopamine‚ the symptoms of schizophrenia should reduce. Typical anti-psychotic drugs

The Biological Importance Of Water Water plays a huge role in our lives‚ the molecule which is comprised of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen bonded together has many complex properties. The molecule maintains a bent shape due to its tetrahedral arrangement and the negative lone pair of electrons on the oxygen. The electrons from both hydrogen and oxygen are joined covalently but the difference in electronegativity lets the electrons from hydrogen get pulled slightly toward the oxygen

Biological Approach to Depression The biological approach is based on the idea that depression has a physical or organic cause. One explanation suggests that some people are simply more genetically inclined to develop depression‚ as Hecimovic suggested that it was caused by a mutation in the 5-HTT gene‚ which was responsible for coding for serotonin production‚ and that this mutation is inherited. Family studies‚ twin studies and adoption studies have all helped support the role of genetics in
