Biobehavioral model

The biobehavioral model explains how biological processes (like genetics and brain function) interact with behaviors (such as habits and lifestyle choices) and psychological factors (like emotions and thoughts) to influence health. It recognizes that our mind and body are interconnected, meaning stress, behaviors, and social environment can affect physical health, and vice versa. This approach helps in understanding complex health issues by considering both biological and behavioral components, leading to more comprehensive and effective treatment strategies that address the whole person.
