Factors that Influence the Development of Psychopathology This question is very multifactorial, and one must break it down by the substrate of the term psychopathology. The word psychopathology is defined as a broad arena of diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders within the realm of psychology as well as psychiatry (Craighead et al., 2013). This statement further looks at all the factors that pertain to the diagnosis of someone with a mental illness. We look at as such that the person has a disorder but what exact factors are contributing to the actual illness. Genetics can play a large role with someone who presents with symptoms of a mental illness. The provider looks at that within the interview to obtain the collateral information that can allow for the diagnosis. When the provider obtains data from the patient and or family that reflects some biological component hence genetics we know that this brings forth likelihood that the patient will or could develop schizophrenia (Craighead et al., 2013). Although is only one component to consider within the interview of the patient. The primary theory within the subject of psychopathology is that humans have a limited set of emotions in the sense of evolutionary standpoint which is overall just very basic as well as discrete (Posner et al., 2005). These emotions are then invoked independently of one another within the neural pathways (Posner et al., 2005). This is a reflection that many of us are independent of our emotions in the environmental sense but overall, we still have certain emotions that can be stimulated within the brain. So as a provider this needs to be taken into account not necessarily assumed by a presentation without further review of the patient and their cognitive baseline. Upon further investigation the provider will need to look at the developmental side of the patient’s psychopathology when presented. For example, a patient who has a history of maltreatment poses a significant risk of developing maladaptive traits which further equates to the presentation of a mental illness (Cicchetti, 2016). The maltreatment then can also lead to overall poor development which then undermines the overall linear growth of the child (Cicchetti, 2016). The provider takes this into consideration when reviewing this in the assessment which will be a factor to consider with the child and or adult. Additionally, looking at the patient's culture as well as their interpersonal skills needs to be considered. The culture in which a person is raised or exposed can have a multitude of influences on the patient with adaptive and maladaptive tendencies (Causadias et al., 2018). The word in and of itself can be termed by behaviors, beliefs, and ideology within the environment the patient was raised within (Causadias et al., 2018). Again, all factors to consider with a patient when seeking to diagnosis. The nurse practitioner will need to seek all these factors and integrate them into the assessment and diagnosis of the patient. Our patients are not just a diagnosis but a multifactorial person with many items that can contribute to the symptoms they may be suffering with or presenting with. In conclusion, this must be part of your objective data when looking at the patient. The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders should be used as a guide but also take into account all the additional collateral data when making that final diagnosis for the patient.
