Desvribe one assumption of the biological approach

• Point

  One assumption of the biological approach is that behaviour and mental processes are influenced by neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers in the brain
• Evidence

  Neurons communicate with each other at the synapses, where neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and either stimulate or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron. This process helps regulate various functions in the body and brain, including mood, cognition, and movement
• Explain

  Neurotransmitters have been linked to mental health conditions. For example, serotonin plays a key role in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with depression, and antidepressant medications work by increasing serotonin availability. similarly, high levels of dopamine have been linked to schizophrenia, as drugs that block dopamine activity help to reduce symptoms.

  This assumption highlights how biological processes, such as neurotransmitter activity, play a crucial role in determining behaviour and psychological disorders
