Bio-Psycho-Social Model

The Bio-Psycho-Social Model is an approach to understanding health and illness by considering how biological factors (like genetics and physical health), psychological factors (such as emotions, thoughts, and behaviors), and social factors (including relationships, culture, and environment) all interact to influence a person's overall well-being. Instead of viewing health purely as a biological issue, this model recognizes that mental state and social context are equally important. It encourages healthcare providers to consider the whole person, leading to more comprehensive and effective treatment plans.
