Recent studies in abnormal psychology suggest that mental disorders are likely caused by a combination of biological, genetic, psychological, and sociocultural factors. These factors may interact in complex ways to contribute to the development of various disorders. For example, schizophrenia is believed to have distinct biological and genetic origins, while autism is thought to be primarily caused by cognitive limitations and brain abnormalities. Bipolar disorders, on the other hand, are best explained by biological factors, possibly inherited and triggered by life stress. Overall, researchers emphasize the importance of recognizing the multiple causes that may contribute to different mental disorders in abnormal psychology.
