Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the biological paradigm, treatments that alter bodily functioning, such as medication or electroconvulsive therapy, can improve mental illness. This paradigm recognizes that mental illnesses have underlying biological factors, and therefore, non-biological interventions may not be sufficient for treatment. However, this paradigm does not suggest that mental illness will be completely prevented or that non-biological interventions will be obsolete in the future. It also does not support the notion that mental illnesses are solely socially constructed.
