Genes are major contributors to many psychiatric diseases. “The intermediate phenotype concept represents a strategy for characterizing the neural systems affected by risk gene variants to elucidate quantitative, mechanistic aspects of brain function implicated in psychiatric disease.” An example would be using imaging genetics to illustrate recent advances, challenges and implications of linking genes. Urbanicity exposure is associated with corresponding changes in schizophrenia going in to adulthood. Urbanicity is a description for some underlying environmental factor or factors in urban areas. “Consistent with an inherited "phobia proneness" but not a "social learning" model of phobias, the familial aggregation of any phobia, agoraphobia,

The pathways by which social networks and social supports influence mental health can be described by two causal models: the main effect model and the stress-buffering model. Second, the protective effects of social ties on mental health are not uniform across groups in society. Third, egocentric networks are nested within a broader structure of social relationships.” Gender differences support social network participation and may account for the prevalence of psychological distress among women compared to men. The importance of social capital embraces the individual that has social ties within the broader social structure. “Social connections may paradoxically increase levels of mental illness symptoms among women with low resources, especially if such connections entail role strain associated with obligations to provide social support to others.” Despite some successes, further work is needed to expand our understanding of the design, timing, and dose of interventions that do work. After unemployment, symptoms of depression and anxiety were much greater considering the unemployed vs. the employed. Unemployed men made more visits to their physicians and spent more days in bed sick than did employed individuals although the number of diagnoses in the two groups were …show more content…
Taking an approach for investigating the social psychological effects, is exemplified to show how social psychological research might contribute to a deeper understanding in society and computer-mediated communication. Major health care problems no longer seemed amenable to traditional and normal solutions. “Findings are attributed to difficulties of coordination from lack of informational feedback, absence of social influence cues for controlling discussion, and depersonalization from lack of nonverbal involvement and absence of norms.” Concepts from cross-cultural research may provide a framework for identifying issues that need a solution. A limited set of certain concepts is described and illustrated, which includes a distinction between disease and illness. These social science concepts can be developed into clinical strategies. One strategy is an example of a clinical social science that is capable of translating concepts from cultural anthropology into clinical language. The approach in medical teaching and practice will require more support financially. “PTSD is reported to occur in the total population, about 3.5% in civilians exposed to physical attack and in Vietnam War veterans who were not wounded, and 20% in veterans wounded in
