That carries the implicit conclusion that disordered behaviors are not learned but are spontaneously generated by the disordered brain. According to the medical model, for treatment (such as drugs), to be effective, it should be directed as closely as possible at correcting the theorized chemical imbalance in the brain of the person with mental illness.
This suggests that disordered behaviors originate from the brain's inherent dysfunction, as suggested by the medical model. In this framework, treatment (such as medication) should aim to correct the theorized chemical imbalance in the individual's brain with a mental illness.
