Please answer the questions using some reference from my textbook (fundamentals of ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY….R. Comer 8TH EDITION) chapter 8
a. Today there are many more physical illnesses which are considered psychophysiological than when this concept was originally developed. Your professor believes that all medical illnesses could properly be considered psychophysiological. Based on the information presented in this chapter , do you agree or disagree with this position?

Chapter 6 below (refer to text as well)
b. More young people today are being diagnosed with depression than in previous eras.This seems to be a real, not a spurious (false) increase. In other words, it is not because of an increased awareness or changes in the diagnostic system. Based on your understanding of the factors/ variables which contribute to these mood disorders, what do you think might account for this increased incidence? Pay particular attention to sociocultural variables and the zeitgeist of the last decade or two.. (20pts)
ALSO less work citing and more statements in your own words and also opinions.
