9. Examine biomedical, individual and group approaches to treatment 10. Evaluate biomedical, individual and group approaches in the treatment of depression The biomedical approach is based on the assumption that a neurotransmitter imbalance is implicated in disorders such as depression. The serotonin hypothesis suggests that there is an lack of serotonin in the synaptic gaps for effective transm
