1. In this study (insert comma) “Filipino Psychiatrists’ and Psychologists’ Approach to the Most Common Mental Illness of Cebuanos”, it is very important that we first know what is the main reason or the factors that could affect the Cebuanos Mental state. (Why capitalize mental state?)
2. One of the theories that were believed in by so many people a very long time ago was the theory that man got his personality out of his genes interference. That everything in his personality was dictated by his genes and there’s nothing he can do to change it because it’s an inborn trait that was passed on by his parents. This theory was taught by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle. On the other hand John Locke formulated his theory of “tabula rasa” which means that the human mind is in a blank state ever since it is born; therefore it’s the experience that molds its personality. Later on, these difference in beliefs resulted to the debate regarding “nature vs. nurture”. (sources here? Where you got this info)
3. During the year 1977, a Psychiatrist by the name of George Engel developed a model that could explain how personality is formed and an imbalance on it could cause for a mental illness. This is the BPS model or the Biopsychosocial Model. (clarify sourcing; did you get his own book or just read it from another source? Cite year and author)
4. In his theory he discussed that the possible reason for acquiring the mental illness is first the biological factor, second the psychological factor, and third is the social factor. (faulty)
5. The Biological factor is affected by the genes which is the inborn identity that was passed on by the parents to the offspring. The abnormalities can also be caused by, the neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals transmitted by the neurons to pass signals to the other neurons. Neurotransmitters main purpose is to carry messages from one neuron to another. The different types of neurotransmitters are caused by the difference in chemical concentrations. In the case of schizophrenia, it was hypothesized during the 1960’s that it is caused by a high level of dopamine in the certain parts of the brain and could lead to symptoms of schizophrenia. Another biological factors are biological effects of accidents and injuries. (citation?)
6. On the other hand, the environmental factors could be caused by political reasons such as corruption and injustices, etc. Another is the economic reasons which includes poverty, and last is the disasters caused by the natural environment such as calamities which includes typhoons, earthquakes, floods, etc. The treatments for mental illness caused by these factors are psychotherapies or talk therapies and medicines. (citation)
7. In this research study it will be aimed by the researcher (awkward)
8. In this research study it will be aimed by the researcher to know the most common mental illness of Cebuanos based on the records of illness taken from Vicente Sotto Medical Hospital in the Department of Behavioral Science. This research will use the model introduced by George Engel in the year 1977 which reflects that the causes for behavior and abnormalities on it does not end only on the biological aspect but is also affected by the Psychological, which includes traumas and abuses, and environmental factors which include natural calamities, political, and economic reasons.
During the interviews with the professionals, they will be asked what could be the cause of the most common mental illness of Cebuanos, based on the model introduced by Engel. And what specifically in the Cebuano society or culture could cause for the acquisition of the most common mental illness. This is for the sake of every Cebuano, in order for them to be more aware and to work hand in hand to eliminate that factor in the society, to prevent more people from acquiring such mental illness.
Furthermore, the professionals will be asked what methods they are using in order to treat the most common mental illness of Cebuanos, if it’s medicine, or if it is psychotherapies. If the professional uses psychotherapies what specific psychotherapy are they using? Moreover, they will be asked how the treatment is done, what are the procedures and what is the percentage that their approach is going to work on the patients. (This is methodology.explain how your theories work for those mentally ill.

Theoretical Framework

In this study “Filipino Psychiatrists’ and Psychologists’ Approach to the Most Common Mental Illness of Cebuanos”, it is very important that we first know what is the main reason or the factors that could affect the Cebuanos Mental state. This is also to address the Cebuano Society’s needs to have a secure and a healthy environment to live in with the help of the government, and also with the help of one another.
Psychiatrists and Psychologists approach to a mental illness vary depending on the Psychiatrist or Psychologists conceptual model or the theory that the professional believed to cause the illness. Debates on the theories are still going on until the present and are still evolving by the help also of current studies. Even before the present theories have been embraced by so many Professionals in the field of human behavior, theories regarding personality and the causes for mental illness evolved from the different school of thoughts as an influence of the philosophers in the early Greek society.
One of the theories that were believed in by so many people a very long time ago was the theory that man got his personality out of his genes interference. That everything in his personality was dictated by his genes and there’s nothing he can do to change it because it’s an inborn trait that was passed on by his parents. This theory was taught by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle. On the other hand John Locke formulated his theory of “tabula rasa” which means that the human mind is in a blank state ever since it is born; therefore it’s the experience that molds its personality. Later on, these difference in beliefs resulted to the debate regarding “nature vs. nurture”.
During the year 1977, a Psychiatrist by the name of George Engel developed a model that could explain how personality is formed and an imbalance on it could cause for a mental illness. This is the BPS model or the Biopsychosocial Model. He first introduced this to the world through his paper published in the journal Science that he wrote entitled “The Need for a New Medical Model: A Challenge for Biomedicine”. In his work he stated that the Biological, Psychological, and the Social factors are interrelated in the formation of a person’s personality and could also result to a negative effect if not addressed correctly.

Conceptual Framework

This study will answer what is the most common mental illness of Cebuanos, and what could be the possible cause of this illness. This will be based on the theory that the researcher discussed in the first part of this chapter, the theory by George Engel on Biopsychosocial factors. In his theory he discussed that the possible reason for acquiring the mental illness is first the biological factor, second the psychological factor, and third is the social factor.
The Biological factor is affected by the genes which is the inborn identity that was passed on by the parents to the offspring. The abnormalities can also be caused by, the neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals transmitted by the neurons to pass signals to the other neurons. Neurotransmitters main purpose is to carry messages from one neuron to another. The different types of neurotransmitters are caused by the difference in chemical concentrations. In the case of schizophrenia, it was hypothesized during the 1960’s that it is caused by a high level of dopamine in the certain parts of the brain and could lead to symptoms of schizophrenia. Another biological factors are biological effects of accidents and injuries.
The Psychological factor is also affected in many ways. First it could be caused by traumas. Traumas could be a result of extreme experiences of a person. Usually, what is believed by many is that many psychotic patients experienced abuses and other unbearable life events, such as death of loved ones, in the person’s life.
On the other hand, the environmental factors could be caused by political reasons such as corruption and injustices, etc. Another is the economic reasons which includes poverty, and last is the disasters caused by the natural environment such as calamities which includes typhoons, earthquakes, floods, etc. The treatments for mental illness caused by these factors are psychotherapies or talk therapies and medicines.

Operational Framework
In this research study it will be aimed by the researcher to know the most common mental illness of Cebuanos based on the records of illness taken from Vicente Sotto Medical Hospital in the Department of Behavioral Science. This research will use the model introduced by George Engel in the year 1977 which reflects that the causes for behavior and abnormalities on it does not end only on the biological aspect but is also affected by the Psychological, which includes traumas and abuses, and environmental factors which include natural calamities, political, and economic reasons.
During the interviews with the professionals, they will be asked what could be the cause of the most common mental illness of Cebuanos, based on the model introduced by Engel. And what specifically in the Cebuano society or culture could cause for the acquisition of the most common mental illness. This is for the sake of every Cebuano, in order for them to be more aware and to work hand in hand to eliminate that factor in the society, to prevent more people from acquiring such mental illness.
Furthermore, the professionals will be asked what methods they are using in order to treat the most common mental illness of Cebuanos, if it’s medicine, or if it is psychotherapies. If the professional uses psychotherapies what specific psychotherapy are they using? Moreover, they will be asked how the treatment is done, what are the procedures and what is the percentage that their approach is going to work on the patients.
