Essay on Causations of Behavior
With increasing frequency the media report the discovery of genes for distinct human characteristics, such as athletic prowess or male promiscuity. Yet it is obvious that experience, education, and culture make a big difference in how people behave, whatever their genetic inheritance. That is why behavioral and psychological development is so often explained in terms of the exclusive importance of one set of factors, either genetic or environmental.
Over the course of the last three decades much research into the origins of emotional distress and disorder have led researchers to grip chemical imbalance as the important cause.( Diller LH) Although the exact mechanisms connecting chemical imbalances and common disorders like anxiety, depression and ADHD are not entirely understood, clinical studies and medical observations have been able to identify a number of chemical inconsistencies that occur in individuals who report experiencing symptoms related to these disorders. Common chemical imbalances related to anxiety and depression related disorders that have been observed in clinical practice are lower levels of serum Magnesium, Zinc or Potassium, Unhealthy, or deficient levels of essential vitamins like B6, B9, B12 and Vitamin-C, undersupply of key cofactors like amino acids that are used to help transport neurotransmitter precursors into the blood-brain barrier.
Over the years, researchers have noted a handful of possible underlying reasons for a chemical imbalance, from genetic factors to irregular brain development. The most promising (and comforting might I add) is the theory that chemical imbalance actually stems from our own thoughts and actions. Everything we do and every thought that goes through our minds happens as a result of the production, release and absorption of naturally occurring chemicals in our brain like hormones, neurotransmitters and amino acids.( Diller LH) The multifaceted sets of chemicals in the brain are intended to process incoming input and then return a reaction......
