Question

Necessary cause, sufficient cause, and contributory cause. Which of these three types of causes is more frequent as the cause of events in social sciences?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Necessary cause, by definition is a condition that must exist for a disorder to occur. If Disorder Y occurs, then Cause X must have preceded it. This can be explained further with an example as general paresis (Y) cannot develop unless a person has previously contracted syphilis (X). Many mental disorders do not appear to have necessary causes.
