The biomedical approach is a controversial one because drugs do not help solve all problems that a person may be experiencing. It cannot help with relationship issues that one may be going through or even help them solve everyday issues. It can help some of the chemical imbalance that occurs in a person’s brain. There is little question that biomedical therapy has helped many different people suffering from many different disorders. Psychosurgery is not around anymore because of questions about its effectiveness and the occurrences of serious side effects.
According to Aaron Beck’s notes, the clients develop emotional problems such as depression because of cognitive errors that may lead them to minimize accomplishments and blow out of proportion their failures. He also noted that depressed people experience cognitive disorders such as the cognitive triad; that is they expect the worst from themselves, the world, and the future. Medications cannot help correct issues like this. This is more of a problem that needs to have attention brought to it with a professional. A good idea with these problems is to apply principles of reinforcement.
