Hi everybody.
00:01
So today we're going to be going through problem number five in chapter 14 psychological disorders.
00:07
And this is testing our knowledge of something known as the diocese stress model.
00:11
So i'm going to write that down here.
00:20
So in a nutshell, what this model postulates is that the probability of a specific person developing a mental disorder is going to depend on their genetics and specific genetic predispositions that they have.
00:37
And also their environment and the stressors they face in that environment.
00:42
So i'm going to write that down here.
00:46
So definition, i will write a person's likelihood of developing a mental disorder depends on their genetic or biological predispositions.
01:28
For that specific disorder.
01:30
So this is the diathesis part of the model and their environment.
01:45
So these could be the stressors that they face.
01:52
So this model has been used to describe schizophrenia a lot.
01:57
So i'm going to write that down here.
01:59
Use to describe schizophrenia...
