Bio-Psycho-Social Framework

The Bio-Psycho-Social Framework is a way of understanding health by considering three key factors: biological (body functions and genetics), psychological (thoughts, emotions, and behaviors), and social (relationships, environment, and culture). It recognizes that health and illness are influenced by a mix of these elements rather than just medical or physical issues alone. For example, stress (psychological), family support (social), and genetics (biological) all play a role in a person’s overall well-being. This approach promotes holistic care by addressing multiple aspects of a person's life.
