illness

Illness refers to a state where the body or mind is not functioning normally, often due to infection, injury, or health conditions. It can cause symptoms like pain, fatigue, fever, or discomfort, and may affect daily activities. Illness arises when the body's defenses are overwhelmed or when internal processes are disrupted. While some illnesses are temporary and easily treatable, others can be chronic or serious. Understanding illness helps in seeking appropriate care, managing symptoms, and maintaining overall health by addressing underlying causes and supporting recovery.
