Leo just came out of class where the professor was explaining how mental disorders are the result of a system of elements. He says to you that he doesn't understand why it has to be so complicated. Why can't we just say that this one illness is due to one thing and another illness is due to something else? he asks you. What is the most accurate response you can give him?
a) Mental disorders are often caused by multiple factors interacting with each other
b) It's simpler to think of mental disorders as having a single cause
c) The complexity of mental disorders makes them difficult to understand
d) Mental disorders are usually caused by genetic factors alone
