The Biological Approach The biological approach is concerned with how our biology affects us‚ such as genes and the biological environmental influences to which we are exposed to. This approach focuses on genetics‚ neurochemistry‚ the nervous and the endocrine systems‚ and brain structure. Our biology can affect us due to our genes as we can inherit a faulty gene which predisposes us to develop a particular disorder as we grow older‚ unfavourable environments can trigger the faulty gene to develop
