Which body part or function is involved in Depression, Withdrawal, Insomnia, Psychological Conditions and Nervousness?
Psychological disorders are also called mental disorders are impairments of the mind resulting in various behavioral changes making daily life difficult. A number of psychological disorder classes have been identified this include Mood disorders like depression, eating disorders like anorexia, personality disorders like antisocial personality and psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. Psychological disorders are multifactorial disorders that are developed by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors contributing to their occurrence in an individual and now the researchers have identified that psychological disorders have more genetic involvement than the environment at least for some disorders like schizophrenia.
Researchers have developed a concept of gene-environment interaction for some disorders that are complex enough to be considered either due to genetic or environment only. The environment causes some epigenetic changes leading to some chemical modifications that affect the way a gene is expressed this alters the function of a gene without causing any change in the DNA sequence. Besides this there are problems in the brain’s chemical processes that can be led to some abnormal behavioral changes most important of these are neurotransmitters that are the chemical messengers. These neurotransmitters are involved in sending information between neurons by passing through a synapse. The electrical signals from the neurons are unable to cross the synapse and are converted into chemical signals to cross the synaptic gap. Once they research the other neuron, they are again converted to an electrical signal that is called an action potential.
