In michaels case a psychologist would see how his emotions, memoires and patterns of thinking lye at the core of his feeling of isolation and depression. Biological analysis: focus on the physiological mechanism that under lye thoughts and behaviour, structure and function of the brain, molecular effects of neuro transmitter and hormones, genetic factors affecting behaviour. In michaels case a psychologist might study the effect of a neuron transmitter serotonin and mood disorder and genetic factors that make some individuals prone to mood disorders.
