Specifically, the authors discuss the role of the amygdala, prefrontal cortex (PFC) and insula in anxiety disorders. One of the more reliable findings across studies of the anxiety disorders is amygdala hyperresponsivity. To illustrate, a study done by Hariri and colleagues discovered that amygdala reactivity to environmental threat is controlled by…

In some autonomic nervous system disorders once the related disease has been treated the disorder gets better. Many times the goal of treatment is to try to improve the symptoms as often there is not a cure for the disorder.…

A strength of the biological model is that it is empirical Experiments used are measurable objective and can be replicated to provide reliable evidence, the person carrying out the experiments also has control over the variables. Another strength is that it is deterministic it provides an explanation for the cause of a behaviour or symptom increasing the likelihood of effective treatment. A weakness of the biological model is that it focuses only on the physical causes and takes no account of…

hoarder, more research is currently being done to see which ways are the most effective in treating this disorder. But currently the most commonly used medication a hoarder would take is a type of antidepressant called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs for short(Mayo Clinic Staff, 2014).

Meprobamate was created in the 1950s, although, was not introduced to the psychiatric treatments until 1955. The treatment was first conducted to tame monkeys, until other studies…
