ABSTRACT
As we saw in Chapter 6, patients suffering from mental disorders can exhibit a wide range of symptoms. More specifically, there can be problems associated with thinking and the mind (e.g. hallucinations), with behaviour (e.g. the avoidance behaviour of the phobic patient), or with physiology and the body (e.g. the highly activated physiological system of the anxious patient). However, it is important to remember that all thinking and behaviour ultimately depend on physiological processes within the body, and thus thinking, behaviour, and the body are highly inter-dependent most of the time.
