Etiology, Predispositions and Vulnerabilities Various models have been designed to explain the how IAD develops in an individual and how it is then maintained. These models draw from different fields of psychology such to determine different theorised causes for the addiction such as biological factors (such as chemical imbalances making one more susceptible to addiction), psychological predispositions (such as other mental health problems or personality) and social factors (such as culture, socio-economic

Describe the etiology of the disorder. Bipolar Disorders are considered complex because of the episodes that are experienced. They include dysfunctional mood, potentially including major depressive episodes, mild to moderate depressive episodes, manic episodes, hypomanic episodes, and mixed episodes, which are often separated by periods of relatively normal mood. (BDII). There are two types of Bipolar Disorders that I will cover in this paper. They include Bipolar I disorder (BP-I) and Bipolar II

Etiology and risk factors The debate continues about whether damage to the optic nerve is caused by eye pressures that are too high, decreased blood flow to the optic nerve head, or both factors.Irrespective of what causes the damage, the end resultis that ganglion-cell death inglaucoma is by apoptosis(programmed cell death),because of the lack of trophicfactors.12 In addition,autoimmune reactions,increased concentrations ofnitric oxide, and raisedconcentrations of glutamatemay contribute to ganglioncell

Fast food, as an aspect of our cultural identity, alone, cannot be responsible for the epidemic of childhood obesity in the United States, as the behavior of children is largely reliant on the influences of their parents. Home and social environments, parenting styles, family-feeding practices are the primary influences on early childhood nutritional behaviors. Obesity is a serious and widespread health problem in only certain kinds of societies characterized by economic modernizations, food surplus

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND ETIOLOGY A person becomes obese when the balance between calories in and calories out becomes unbalanced. When you take more calories in than your body is using, you gain weight and when you continue to gain weight you become overweight and it will ultimately lead to obesity. Obesity in adults is typically defined using body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight to height (Wolin, 2009). The Center for Disease Control (CDC) states that an adult BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered

D. Etiology Mitochondrial cytopathy is a genetic heritable disorder [5]. It occurs as a result of DNA mutation in the gem-line cells that can be transmitted to the second generation. This type of genetic disorder is often caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DMA versus the nucleic DNA. The mitochondria DNA is 20-30 times more susceptible to acquire mutations secondary to absence of DNA repair mechanisms in the mitochondria, giving rise to frequent point mutations or deletions in the mtDNA during

physiological etiology of psychopathy, the ways in which the prefrontal cortex and amygdala work together to enhance psychopathic symptomology, and the ways in which lesions on the prefrontal cortex

specifically those with the preservative thimerosal (Caronna, Milunsky, & Tager-Flusberg, 2008). The most common genetic disorder associated with autism is fragile X syndrome. Scientists continue to investigate the etiology of ASD. Current research seems to support two etiologies of autism: Early Onset of Autism vs. Regressive Autism (Bristol-Power, 2006). There is optimism that specific causes and risk factors will be identified. The results of future investigations will facilitate enhanced
