Depression

[burbs]

Psychological factors contributing to onset...
Now stress seems more like a social stressor to me, so would I say learned helplessness/automatic thoughts/attribution theory?

The study design clearly states 'stress' as a psychological factor.

[burbs]

oh right, ok. ty

I'd also combine attribution theory with learned helplessness as attribution theory isn't mentioned explicitly in the SD.

And (personally) I'd never use automatic thoughts. It's too weak and short to explain as a risk factor.

Is it correct to bring the psychodynamic model into this? "Major depression is caused by hating ourselves due to unconscious grief over losses"

No, psychodynamic model is for phobias as far as I know. I don't see why you would risk it when options such as stress and such exist.

Yeah in a SAC I said learned helplessness and negative automatic thoughts, and the latter was completely wrong. The suggested answers said learned helplessness and stress were the only 2 options to go with. Stupid I know, considering an explicit social contributing factor is "social stressors"... I don't see a huge difference but yeah stick to LH and stress
