According to Jimenez, Botto & Luyten (2018), psychotherapy is an interpersonal process which modifies feelings, behaviors, attitudes, and cognitions that have been problems towards an individual seeking help from a healthcare professional. Studies related to mental disorders have linked the relationship between psychological and biological factors. There is a general agreement that psychotherapy involves a specific type of learning in the context of an emotional relationship that may lead to epigenetic modifications across different therapeutic treatments (Jimenez et al., 2018). The uniting of organic and psychological sciences it not only presents the challenges but also the structures. A proposition that humans have an innate biological aspect in the brain that processes experiences to a physiological state where information can be received for learning to occur. Studies have shown both pharmacological regimen and non-pharmacological treatment like psychotherapy is also effective in treating mental disorders (Wheeler, 2014). The data suggest that a biological basis does exist and therefore, mental health professionals should consider it when treating mental health patients. There is also a biological component that can be present and viewed as tangible evidence to support a tailored approach when treating a patient (Wheeler, 2014).

There some some child and adolescent disorders that have been associated with genetics and youth in some families are susceptible to mental illnesses through gene transmissions. For example, polygenes have been found to be associated with externalizing problems in youth (Butcher & Kendall, 2018).

Also growing up in a complex society lacking or with limited family support and economic resources can seriously and negatively impact the way in which a young person develops. Not surprisingly, there is evidence to indicate that psychological adjustment is negatively influenced by low socioeconomic status Butcher & Kendall, 2018). Poverty related stress is associated with a variety of psychological problems in youth. Financial hardship in childhood was predictive of onset of all classes of disorder across development (Butcher & Kendall, 2018).

While there are universal commonalities in mental disorders, psychopathology is embedded in social culturally based systems of meaning and values. Social and cultural variations are found in the formation, expression, labeling, and treatment of symptom experiences (Cheung & Mak, 2018). Theories of culture and psychopathology have compared diversities of psychopathology across cultures and examined the role of culture in causing or determining the conditions that lead to psychiatriatric disorders. Other than the theory of cultural determinism, the concept of cultural relativism proposed that the diversity in a mental disorder, the variability of symptoms presented in that disorder, or the judgement of what constitutes pathology may be explained by cultural diversity (Cheung & Mak, 2018).

In Conclusion, healthcare professionals should try to gain their patients’ trust regardless of the ethnic background, race, culture, religion, and socioeconomic considerations. Healthcare professionals should clear up many misconceptions individuals may have about mental health illness.
