An individual with a negative concept of health would define it as simply being free from pain or discomfort. It is the absence of illness or disease that would indicate being healthy for an individual with this concept. Having this view, you may do very little to maintain what you see as your healthy status, and see good health as normal, or take it for granted. People with this view would see the fact that they had not visited the doctor for years as an indication that they were healthy, and take the view that "there is nothing wrong with me; if there was, i'd know about it". An individual with this concept of health is unlikely to view themselves as ill if they are a bit run down or depressed or if they have a cold or a headache.

The difference between negative and positive definitions of health?
positive-takes the health of the person on whole prospective, mind, body and soul. the state of a persons well being and health rather than just medical includes emotional too negative-takes the purely biomedical view on health where health=the absence of illness A Positive definition of health and well-being has to include the 'maintaining' of it. For example, Fern Britton could be viewed as an example of Positve health and well-being as although she is popular, has a loving family, and is obviously intelligent - she knew she needed to lose weight to improve her health and well being and did so successfully. So the 'maintenance' aspect of this definition is what makes it 'positive' otherwise it reads as a 'holistic' definition.
