Suggest a genetic predisposition to mood disorders
Twin studies
Appear to contribute to mood disorders
Disturbances in neural circuits using serotonin and norepenephrine
Associated with vulnerability to mood disorders
High stress
Emphasize how inadequate so social skills increase vulnerability to depression
Behavioral theorists
Marked by extreme personality traits that cause subjective distress or impaired social or occupational functioning

Undifferentiated schizophrenia
Suggest genetic vulnerability to schizophrenia
Twin studies
Been implicated as a possible cause; schizos have increased (6x amount of normal person) levels of this neurotransmitter
Disturbances in dopamine synapse
Vulnerability to schizophrenia is increased by disruptions of natural maturation - process of the brain during prenatal development or at birth
Neurodevelopmental hypothesis
Schizo patients from families increased in expressed emotions have elevated r
