How does psychopathology work?

  

Answers


Faith
Every layer, starting with external ones, have an influence on all the other layers.
For example, if it is the belief of the culture that parents should be solely responsible
for raising their children, that culture is less likely to provide resources to help
parents. This, in turn, affects the structures in which the parents function. The
parents’ ability or inability to carry out that responsibility toward their child within
the context of the child’s microsystem is likewise affected.
One thing to remember also is that the younger the child, the stronger these effects
are.
This is an extremely good reason to take good care of every single child and to
give the best help possible to struggling parents. Many mental disorders are due
to lack of security in the first years of life. When mother and father live recurrent
stress ( working conditions, lack of social support, etc) the infant feels it and is
tremendously affected by it. Babies are very strong and try hard to cope with environmental difficulties so they adapt to that stress. In other words they become
slowly much more demanding to make sure they get their parents attention and
they act out. Mommy and daddy are already stressed so baby might get punished,
harshly beaten or even abandoned.
This will cause what psychologists call an attachment disorder, which is one of the
strongest links to later mental disorder. But that will be the subject of my next entry.
If you are a young parent and you recognize yourself on these lines, please reach
for help, take some free time for yourself. Your baby and the rest of society will
benefit of your good health.
