    • P- Another strength of
      the biological
      approach is that it can
      be applied to a broad
      range of real- world
      behaviours and
      problems.
    • E- For instance, due to
      an increased
      understanding of
      biochemical processes
      in the brain this has
      led to the
      development of drug
      treatments that help
      manage and treat
      serious mental
      illnesses, such as depression.
    • E- This is a strength of
      the biological
      approach because it
      means that sufferers
      are able to manage
      their condition and
      live a relatively
      normal life, rather
      than remain in
      hospital.

      consequently benefits
      economic prosperity,
      since absences from
      work costs the
      economy an
      estimated £15 billion
      a year the
      development of such
      drug treatments allow
      sufferers to manage
      their condition
      effectively and return
      to work, thus the
      economic benefit of
      the biological
      approach into
      psychological disorders is
      considerable.
