     When speaking on the development of psychopathology and the many factors that influences it, there are many different psychological assessments to consider including biological, psychological, social, and interpersonal. Lunansky et al. (2021) state identifying the different influences of symptoms in dynamic psychopathology models may hold promise for increasing treatment efficacy in clinical applications. It is important to understand in mental health the factors and how they impact a nurse practitioners’ multidimensional approach in the treatment of the patient across the lifespan. The biological factors influencing psychopathology can range depending on where the patient is in their lifespan. Determining a person’s psychopathology depends on the age as well as their environment they are in at the specific time. Harden et al. (2019) inform symptoms of psychopathology covary across diagnostic boundaries, and a family history of elevated symptoms for a single psychiatric disorder places an individual at heightened risk for a broad range of other psychiatric disorders. Genetics can have a huge impact on the development of psychopathology from fetus to adulthood, depending on a person’s surroundings, how they grew up and who they grew up around determines their psychopathology and its development thereof. Masten and Kalstabakken (2018) note during the course of human development, it is important to note that gene, environment, and exposure could influence and change the mental health of an individual. Psychological factors such as behavioral and cognitive processes, emotional, and developmental do influence the development of psychopathology as well. Masten and Kalstabakken (2018) inform as children grow older, they increase their active role in their development and exert more choice about their interactions with other people and the environment. How a child or adolescent chooses to spend their time and in what environment they explore whether it be sports or theatre, dating the opposite sex or same sex can have a determination on their psychopathology and where their mental health is progressed. From there to adulthood can impact their mental health when dealing with other psychological factors. Sameroff (2019) informs at the same time; however, transactional models recognize the profound influences of external sociocultural conditions in constraining or altering development. Social, cultural, and interpersonal factors also play a role in the development of psychopathology. Choudhury and Kirmayer (2019) inform culture are not simply a set of traits or characteristics shared by people with a common geographic, historical, or ethnic background and the shifting meaning of culture and psychopathology have implications for efforts to apply cultural neuroscience to psychiatry. In regard to cultural, social, and interpersonal factors related to psychopathology there are many new developments on what those are and continue to evolve today. While a person’s culture is important to understand, many new generations are forming new developments to their culture for example someone with Mexican heritage and culture may develop new social and cultural norms and even different or new interpersonal relationships as they live in America as a Mexican-American. Understanding how these factors may change from person to person helps the nurse practitioner understand how to better understand and treat the patient.
