Without regulation, erratic brain functioning and thinking patterns occur. Low levels of serotonin can produce low levels & another neurotransmitter, norepinephrine. Some anti depressants can be used to increase levels of norepinephrine. Ithers used to increases levels of another neurotransmitter, dopamine. The ideas ofor treatment is that, drug is matched to the symptoms of depresssion. Whichever symptom is presented, a drug would be chosen to increase the particular monoamine concerned.

                                1. In 1960's Beck developed cognitive model of depression. Considering 3 aspects of thinking. He looked at cognitice errors that people make about themselves, at faulty thought patterns & schemata. Seligman out forwards a similar theory when he suggested that depresssion is a form of learned helpnessness. 1:COGNITIVE TRIAD - negative views of self, wor and future. 2 COGNITIVE ERRORS - faulty thinking, negative and unrealistic ideas. 3 SCHEMATA - patterns of thought and beliefs (unhelpful). Cognitive triad found in people with depression involves the person having negative thoughts about themselves, about the world and the future. Genetic factors and early experiences affect thinking and schemata are built up from interactions and these beliefs set assumptions about the world.
