Biological Problem

Yes and No. Yes, absolutely there are strong biological components to anxiety, depression, and drug addiction. There are biological differences between people who are profoundly anxious, depressed or drug addicted and people who are not, although these biological differences may be subtle to the point of being difficult to measure sometimes.

Such disorders are best considered to be “bio-psycho-social” disorders.
