biopsychological
Brain-behavior-biology integrated
Biopsychological describes approaches that integrate biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding human behavior and mental processes.
The term appears most often in academic contexts discussing how brain chemistry, thought patterns, and environment interact: a biopsychological model of depression, biopsychological factors in addiction.
Also called biopsychosocial.
