What is the point?
Studying the biological pillar in psychology is essential for understanding the connection between the brain, nervous system, and behavior. It explores how genetic, neurological, and physiological processes influence thoughts, emotions, and actions. This pillar helps psychologists uncover the biological foundations of mental health disorders, cognitive functions, and behavior patterns. By examining how factors like hormones, neurotransmitters, and brain structures impact psychological processes, the biological perspective contributes to developing effective treatments, interventions, and a deeper understanding of human behavior from a scientific standpoint.
