Hello,

Great work with your post. It is indeed true that psychopathologies are multifactorial. These illnesses have been attributed to a combination of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. It may be accurate that genetic predisposition to psychopathologies is overstated. Notwithstanding, diverse studies have explored the role of genetics in the development of mental health disorders and concluded that many mental health illnesses have a genetic predilection (Fabbri, 2022).  As evident in your post and affirmed by Lateef et al. (2023), psychopathologies have a multifactorial etiology. It is thus important for caregivers to take into account these etiologies when managing patients with mental health illnesses. The multidimensional integrative model in the management of mental health disorders addresses both the symptoms and the inherent factors within the patients that predispose them to their suffering. It is thus important that advanced practice nurses adopt this model.

Hello,

This is a great post. It is indeed true that biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors influence individuals’ susceptibility to these illnesses. It is worth noting that the development of diverse psychopathologies is an interplay of genetic and environmental factors (Andreassen et al., 2023). Diverse literature also details the role of neurobiological factors in mental health illnesses. The pathophysiological principles underlining mental health disorders such as Alzheimer’s and other old age pathologies put weight on the role of defective neurological pathways in the development of these illnesses (Thomas et al., 2020). As an advanced practice nurse, it is imperative to understand the implications of these diverse etiologies on the disease process and subsequently their management. Adopting a multidimensional, integrative model in the comprehensive management of patients with these illnesses guarantees better clinical outcomes. This is because the model addresses both the factors that predispose the patients to the illnesses and the illness presentation.
