the biopsychosocial model

The Biopsychosocial Model is a comprehensive way to understand health and illness. It recognizes that biological factors (like genetics and physical health), psychological factors (such as emotions and thoughts), and social factors (including relationships and cultural influences) all play a crucial role in a person's well-being. Instead of viewing health as just the absence of disease, this model emphasizes the complex interplay between these different areas, suggesting that to promote better health, we should consider and address all three aspects together. This holistic view can lead to more effective treatment and prevention strategies.
