The Evobiopsychosocial Model of Mental Disorder — Riadh Abed
Dr Riadh Abed speaks at the ISEMPH 2024 evolutionary psychiatry pre-meeting.
The biopsychosocial model remains a key paradigm for healthcare, despite widely recognised scientific and philosophical shortcomings. I propose that the integration of evolutionary theory with the biopsychosocial model can provide a more comprehensive and scientifically complete approach to understanding the multiple relevant levels of causation of medical and psychiatric problems. I will suggest that clinicians and researchers would gain a range of benefits from integrating evolutionary analysis into their work, and that the merging of evolutionary theory with biopsychosocial thinking provides a suitable next ste...

Depression: A brain disorder? - Daniel Nettle

Professor Daniel Nettle speaks at the ISEMPH 2024 evolutionary psychiatry pre-meeting. A prominent organising idea of research and treatment on depression in the past decades has been that depression is a brain disorder. Clearly, the brain is involved in depression. But so are many other systems, so it is unclear why the brain should be privileged in either research or treatment. I discuss vari...

    Awesome Video, I recently visited your RUclips channel and enjoyed your content. However, I noticed that your videos are not ranking well due to some issues. I believe that if these issues are addressed, your videos will rank better. Here are the issues I found with your channel: 1. Video SEO has not been properly done. 2. Videos are not being released on time. 3. The video titles are not optimized. 4. Keyword research has not been done effectively. 5. Video thumbnails are not appealing enough to attract viewers. Solving these issues will help your RUclips channel perform better.

    Reason's i disagree with this person is if you define disorder in psychiatry as a dysfunction in biological design than the definition falls apart because not every is built the same. Look at this as the same material's that form life have slight deviations between one person to the the next. This results in people being different in regards to how their brain functions in different life circumstances and traumatic events in life. So how is one's biological design dysfunctionial if they are functioning consistently with their genes and biology? Also someone saying one's reaction is unreasonable is itself a value judgement and what most people find unreasonable can infact be reasonable. Example someone who infact hates dishonesty can reasonably flip out over someone telling a bald face lie and everyone else can see that reaction as overblown. In other words just because because you think someone's reaction is unreasonable does not mean it is. Also just because you have had this problems repeatedly does not make it a disorder or just a problem of biological dysfunction. For example a lot of studies back up psychotic breaks can be caused by one's environment or life circumstances. In other word's trauma can cause psychosis and repeated traumatic events can cause multiple psychotic episodes. Psychosis and psychotic break's are a major part of schizophrenia so you might as well saying schizophrenia can be caused by trauma.

We became closer, and i let go of misunderstood, misplaced hurt. He loves me. I receive it on his terms with thanksgiving, and am relizing how many if my friends are undiagnosed. Diagnosis is a social tool not an illness. Everyone wants Love that requires Truth. The Truth sets us free. Prayer elevates us. It heals. I. Tell him, dont change anything. You are Perfect. And i try not to talk to him or be with him too much. Thats the hard part for me. But its best. His name is Bill. I thank God fir him.🌿🎆👻

    That’s interesting. As a person with ADHD I’ve often wondered about the condition and if it was merely a defect or if it had some value over the ages. There certainly are some advantages or, at least some value to it. ADHD sufferers are typically spontaneous, creative, and tend to be good with their hands (in short bursts). Also, in combat, when the adrenaline spikes, we tend to be all focus and generally more at ease than others. The only two moments of calm and clarity I have ever experienced have both been in highly charged situations. In modern society its usefulness is largely obsolete, I think, unless you’re in the arts. I run a hobby farm so ADHD and I get along ok.

Yet perhaps we should go back to appreciating that the world is filled with diverse people with varying strengths. And wake up to the fact THAT OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS UNNATURAL for EVERYONE? And that these categories have been grabbed hold of by the population and professionals in order to pathologize those for whom the difficulties are exaggerated.

It is fine lecturing statistics, but needs to actually interact with autistic children. The view on empathy is ignorant at best. As a lay person, sitting back and observing my six year old granddaughter diagnosed with severe autism i can honestly say she has a misunderstanding of the thought process of others, but has an astute awarness of others pain and adversity.

    We can’t start encouraging sexe changes to avoid reproduction, in order to slow down evolution. We need to bring awareness to the strengths of autism so these individuals can accept themselves as they are. There’s too much talk about the negative side effects of autism and this is detrimental to learning about it’s advantages. They want to belong! They WANT to socialize! But first, society needs to stop discrimination against them! We need to bring awareness to the strengths of autism because there’s too many false information spreading on social media. They are the most intelligent and empathetic people you will ever meet! People are cruel and judgmental. This is why most of them isolate. Yes, some of them struggle with mathematics. But this is because most of them are visual learners. We need to change the way we teach in the classrooms! Therefore many of these individuals have more of an interest towards science because they enjoy the ‘facts’. This is why many of them become researchers, doctors, science experts and humanitarians. WE NEED THEM!! Happy world autism awareness day! It’s time to speak out about the advantages of having autism!! Let’s hope we start soon! The more we show acceptance, the less they will isolate!!!!💙🧩

So glad to hear here the acknowledgement that there's both "kinds" of autistic people.

    I was dx at age 41. I don't understand the concept of gender spectrum. However, I absolutely see it in terms of race and ethnicity, and I've always selected "other" for my race bc "white" doesn't describe my experience as a child immigrant, non native English speaker, non Anglo-Protestant. The many assumptions about white people in the US are based on conflating those categories. The majority of my friends (yes, I've had friends along the way) have been fellow immigrants or otherwise racial/language minorities. Including my Latino husband. Yet I'm told I don't get a say in how I identify racially in spite of obvious cultural influences on race and how immigration and intermarriage can blur those lines. Meanwhile, my sex I'm told doesn't determine my gender, and my autistic black or white (binary!) brain is supposed to make sense of it, especially hearing many fellow autistics are gender non-conforming in some way. I just can't. 😳

    This is so surreal. I immigrated to the US as a child. I wasn't dx until age 41. All my life I assumed my differences were culturally based bc I didn't know other people from my home country outside my family, who sheltered me a lot. I shared openly that I was Polish, and I guess others figured my quirks were due to culture. I've always gravitated to "outsiders" but the flip side of that is that I've never really felt like I belonged. I had a decades long special interest in world religions and desperately tried to fit in my considering conversion to various faith traditions. I finally found my tribe in the nuclear family I created: my husband and our two children whom we homeschool.

    Thank you for a clarification on an issue I could not find scientific research. I wonder if the gifted children (a brain that is highly wired) could be a response to prenatal stress when macro and micronutrients are available for nourishing the neurodevelopment in the womb of a stressful mother. Alternatively, in the womb of a mother that did not wish to be a mother, that is, an environment in the womb full of 'negative' biochemicals to the success of life... Then, as a response to survive, the fetal becoming a highly connected brain for dealing with complexity of risks and opportunities for survival...

  • @ZeonGenesis

    The reason he finds fewer female autists is because autism has been too defined on stereotypical male personality traits and interests, such as the theory of autism being the extreme male brain, not taking socialization into account. Females tend to internalize a lot more while males tend to externalize. I think they're missing out on many mostly autistic females but also males who have hyper-empathy rather than hypo-empathy, because those who have a harder time reading facial expressions and mentalizing what other people are thinking would stick more out of the crowd while the hyper-empathetic crowd become high-masking and so blend in more easily and are more likely diagnosed later in life. Hopefully the understanding of how autism can be a mixture of either hyper- or hypo-sensitivity in whatever area is on the rise, rather than autism being a linear binary.

    The brain thing is (no pun intended) mind blowing. I was just as late as yesterday wondering how come I've only run into really asperger's people making sound and astute psychological observations and analyses that avoided personal bias and ego more so than I've ever seen NTs be capable of.. so I was thinking, what if the prefrontal cortex in asperger's people is stronger than in the neurotypical population, effectively overriding the amygdala more often in comparison? Leading to more objective and logical analyses with less occurrence of denial and personal emotional blind spots. And lo and behold, Baron-Cohen practically confirms the hypothesis! Wow! This explains so much. (Social, emotional and psychological intelligence in asperger's is also very rarely acknowledged compared to more stereotypical spatial, mathematical, etc., intelligence, which is a pity)

    Some people with autism are also turning to alcohol consumption to socialize and cannabis to temporarily soothe their anxiety.

    59:20 "individuals high empathizers and low in systematizing" This is what I suspect my sister would place in. Her empathy is probably higher than mine and she steers away from technology, panicking when she has to do something with the computer. Low in systematizing as her room is always a mess (in my perspective) but it's still a systematic mess for her. We're both in the Autism Spectrum and both high empathy but she tends to have more needs to be IN a social setting while she pushes me to do the socializing for her while I have less desire in organizing any social interaction but can perform in a social gathering. For autistics like us who are probably in that oddball category, we kind of gave up going to clinics and therapists because the "professionals" we've come across always had "lesser" empathy and we were more cognizant of our issues that sometimes we end up giving them and other people a therapy session. We can easily understand what people go through and how they feel but have trouble identifying what we're feeling and other people understanding US. And because we have that high empathy, we have built relationships in a wider range that we're thankfully able to find and get the help we need, most of the time. Personally, I had an aversion to math as I never had a good teacher but I've always excelled in the arts and sciences. Although I'm still not good at math, I've been in Accounting for almost a decade now because I find the systematizing aspect of accounting somewhat makes up for that weakness I have. So now, I do wonder where I would be in that chart. I've experienced more meltdowns in my adult life than I ever had therefore only now discovering myself being autistic. I used to be quite social but with all the demands thrown at me, I always look forward to being left alone to recharge but my battery isn't being fully recovered for years now. Now that my depression and anxiety has worsened, I think it would be nice to be included in that research study.

    If you want to find a group of Neurotypical empathizers to study and test, I would siuggest you should look in the United States at licensed lawyers and judges. In around 1938, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were created whereby the Neurotypical emphathisizers took over the court systems and threw out the "encyclopedic" literal Autistic people, and since around 1948, created Bar Examiners who have used testing and "fitness" screening to eliminate Autistic types and cull Neurotypical emphathisizer types so the latter were the only ones who got licensed for decades. I know it was only in 2015 that the first Autistic person became a licensed lawyer with the California State Bar and 2019 with the Florida Bar. So, if you're looking for a super-testable group on the Emphasizer extreme of the social brain, look there and test them. I would even say you can probably compare them to your mathematics-engineering-scientists group at the Systematizer extreme. Another thing is, this culled group of U.S licensed lawyers and judges with a hyper-social Emphathisizer brain, they massively cluster in undergrad English and Political Science majors, and they freak out if they are confronted with or required to understand or write about anything scientific or say, a finance major's mathematics calculations, for example.

    Regarding the question about whether the way Autism risk genes are scattered over all of the chromosomes might mean Autism is very old, and your answer referring to Epigenetics, I think it's more complicated that that. I'm autistic and that's what I think. First of all, one of the earliest Autism-linked genes was found as far back as the chromosome 2 fusion in the primate-human lineage; and second, when you start talking about gene expression, you have to untangle Epigenetics from the way Neanderthal transcription factors are continuuing to regulate genes in the modern human genome, including apparently some of them (e.g. FOXP2) in the gene deserts. So, is it Neanderthal transcription factors that's causing Autistic gene expression (e.g., Geschwind's research that shows a gene expression gradient in Autistic brains from front to back visual areas -- mimicking the Neanderthak brain), or is it more today's World Epigentic factors ? Or, both ? And, if both, in what proportions and locations in the brain for each ?
