any

In

As

Biological Factors Influencing the Development of Psychopathology

Biological factors influencing the development of psychopathology include genetics and the development and

function of the brain. A genetic expression of psychiatric illnesses encompasses a complex of mutually related

gene variations (Kalin, 2019). Genetic and environmental factors impact brain development; therefore, any

disruption of these factors can negatively impact the developing brain (Giannopoulou et al., 2018). Various

prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal events influence brain development, such as drugs, infections, prenatal

depression, fetal hypoxia, hypoxia during the neonatal period, and obstetric complications that result in hypoxia.

Studies have shown a direct correlation between complicated pregnancies and deliveries and their impact on

severe neurodevelopment disorders such as autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia (Giannopoulou et al., 2018).

Psychological Factors Influencing the Development of Psychopathology

Environmental influences can influence rapid brain development; therefore, undermining normal development

for behavioral, emotional, and cognitive abilities. Studies support the effects of childhood emotional abuse on

psychopathology, and adverse effects exhibited in social relationships and difficulties in emotion regulation

were found (Berzenski, 2018). Associations between child and parent psychopathology, with a possible stress

mediator, are investigated to understand the mothers' and fathers' roles in children's development of

psychopathology. The findings indicated that parenting stress harms their children. The harmful effects are

exhibited through abnormal behavior such as ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders (Weijers,

Steensel, & Bogels, 2018).

Social, Cultural, and Interpersonal Factors Influencing the Development of Psychopathology

Culture has a prominent role in understanding and treating mental health disorders. In a globalized world,

cultural context is defined by adjusting human behavior, which includes how individuals think, feel, behave and

relate in social situations (Molerio, 2018). As clinicians, treatment plans must be tailored to patients' own

cultural beliefs and historical roots, impacting overall adherence to treatment. Also, minority groups such as

migrants and members of the LGBT community may be subjected to increased risk factors for psychological

distress, which increases their risk for suicide, major depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and traumatic

disorders, to name a few (Molerio, 2018). Additionally, soc-economic adversities such as poverty have been

linked with low life satisfaction; therefore, explaining material deprivation increased adverse life advents such

as unemployment, neglect, and abuse. Individuals living in poverty are more likely to suffer from mental health

issues and less likely to seek treatment and achieve full recovery from emotional psychopathological

problems (Molerio, 2018).
