    This document outlines the predisposing factors, precipitating psychosocial stressors, and biological processes that can lead to psychopathology in a 24-year-old male patient. Predisposing factors include age and gender. Precipitating stressors include environmental factors, alcohol abuse, and a poor support system. The biological processes involve deficiencies in processing social stimuli, diminished brain tissue, reduced glucose and oxygen in the frontal cortex, decreased brain volume and abnormalities in the frontal and temporal lobes, and imbalances in neurotransmitter levels that result in hallucinations, disorganized behavior, anhedonia, and social withdrawal.
