Feedback:
The stress–diathesis model was developed to demonstrate the dynamic between the individual's predisposition (diathesis) toward developing a certain illness, and the levels of stress to which they are subjected and that exceed coping ability. This model does not prioritize the roles of neuroplasticity, culture, or adherence to treatment.
