Neither of them are learnt, the psychodynamic is caused by forces in the unconscious where as the biological is caused by chemical imbalance. Both are predetermined psychodynamic individuals have no control over their behaviour and biological medical condition controls behaviour.
Hope I've helped a bit!
There's lots of similarities like they are both reductionist approaches the psychodynamic approach simplifies the complexities human behaviour and mechanics of the mind (id,ego,superego), The biological approach reduces complex behaviours to a set of simple explanations like reducing the experience of stress to the action of adrenaline. Both approaches are determinist, this basically means that our behaviour is predetermined and that we have no control over it or we have no freewill.
They both have had successful applications for treatments of mental disorders and for giving understanding on how to treat them and why they happen.
This is a complex answer but practically everything you need is in here i hope it has been helpful :)
Both the psychodynamic and biological approaches focus on understanding human behavior and mental processes through a scientific lens. They both acknowledge the importance of internal factors, such as genetics and unconscious drives, in shaping behavior. Additionally, both approaches aim to uncover underlying causes of behavior to facilitate understanding and treatment.
The only thing I can think of is that they both have a very long term view of how problems come to be and are treated. Psychodynamic quacks believe that problems are a result of early childhood experiences and took many years of continuous experience to become what they are. They also believe that it will also take many years of continuous experience with psychoanalytic therapy to reverse them if at all. Biological approaches hold that genetics and physical structural neurological abnormalities (this is a HUGE fallacy) are the principal contributor to mental illness and that other factors are smaller contributors. Because they believe that these lifelong matters cause mental illness, they believe in LONG TERM biological treatments such as drugs for life. I guess I could also say that both can be quite profitable to the practitioner.
The seven major approaches in psychology are biological, cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, sociocultural, and evolutionary. These approaches provide different perspectives for understanding behavior by focusing on biological processes, cognitive functions, learned behaviors, personal growth, unconscious motivations, cultural influences, and evolutionary factors. Each approach offers unique insights into human behavior and mental processes.
Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Alfred Adler are well-known figures associated with the psychodynamic approach. Freud is considered the founder of psychoanalysis, while Jung and Adler also made significant contributions to the development of psychodynamic theory.
The biomedical approach focuses on treating mental health issues primarily through medication and physical interventions, viewing mental illnesses as primarily biological in nature. On the other hand, the psychodynamic approach emphasizes understanding how unconscious thoughts and past experiences influence current behavior, aiming to bring these unconscious conflicts into conscious awareness for healing.
The psychodynamic approach explains behavior as being primarily influenced by unconscious drives and conflicts. It emphasizes the role of childhood experiences and how these shape adult personality and behavior. It also considers the impact of defense mechanisms in regulating one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

This approach focuses on problems related to the psychosexual stages of development.

Psychoanalytic/psychodynamic perspective
The psychodynamic approach explains behavior as being primarily influenced by unconscious drives and conflicts. It emphasizes the role of childhood experiences and how these shape adult personality and behavior. It also considers the impact of defense mechanisms in regulating one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Developmental approach and Psychodynamic perspective

The biological approach to psychology looks at the person's genes and heritage for the causes of the people acting the way they do.
