In reply to BIOLOGY or PSYCHOLOGY ?, posted by Scott L. Schofield on April 8, 2000, at 10:55:54
Scott,
I would theorize that some individuals are born with a predisposition to certin diseases or disorders - but not the full blown disorder from birth. Then, by and by, I think faulty thinking and/or behavior actually causes physical damage. For example, in the Bible, we are instructed not to "let the sun go down on our anger...," etc. etc. I believe we are instructed in such things because unforgiveness, and so on cause real psychological AND physical damage, not to mention spiritual.
The problem is, even though I may talk it out, forgive, ask forgiveness, let go and all that, I am now stuck with the neurochemical damage caused by my actions (and the actions of others, as in dysfunctional families). Since to date, no one knows how to REVERSE or fix the damage, we have meds.
So there you have it. Biology and Psychology are both responsible. Not to mention spiritual illness we are all born with. That's my $.02
Was that the question?
