disadvantage of biomedical health is that its not a long term strategy, by not looking at the patients medical history, asking them how they feel and also asking fully detailed question about an illness it means the same illness could come back again which is why it is important to look at how the patient feels, look at their medical history and find full details about the patients and their illness.

And IF and I do mean IF they find the right (cocktail) of medication it could take months or even years to find what might help the patient. And there are SO MANY mental health meds out there and new ones being made ALL THE TIME finding the 1 2 3 or even more med that might help is like finding out a combination to a lock u just found on the ground...

What are the critics of the biomedical model of psychology?
Overall, there are several criticisms of the biomedical model that you may have considered: * Reductionism: The model attempts to reduce the explanations of health and illness to the smallest possible factors. But humans and ill-health are not this simple. There may be lots of different causes from social to psychological to genetic. * Single-factor causes: The biomedical model looks for the cause, rather than a range of contributory factors. * Mind-body distinction: The mind and body are considered separately- they do not affect one another. But, as we will see, this is not the case. * Illness not health: The focus of the model is on illness, rather than health.

What is the western health model biomedical model?
The Biomedical Model. The biomedical model of medicine was developed in the 19th century as a response to the medical knowledge of that time. The knowledge being that man was a part of nature and therefore could be studied in the same way as nature, at a cellular level. The biomedical model was highly successful in identifying main causes of illness and death at that time, these were accidents and infections. The biomedical model suggests that man only got il from things which invaded the body or from accidental damage. Also the biomedical model suggests that man is either healthy or ill - there is no 'in between.' However, as the century progressed individuals no longer died from infections, society changed with industrialisation, living conditions improved, nutrition improved and new illnesses such as Coronary Heart Disease and cancer became the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. The biomedical model no longer was as effective due to the fact that other factors, social and psychological, played a part in illness. The biomedical model still stands today in identifying illnesses and diseases but not what causes them and what causes death.

What are the similarities between the bio-medical and complementary models of health?
The biomedical model of health looks at individual physical functioning and describes bad health and illness as the presence of disease and ill symptoms as a result of physical causes such as injury or infections and doesn't look at social and psychological factors. The social model of health looks at how society and our environment affect our everyday health and well-being, including factors such as are social class, poverty, poor housing, diet, pollution and income. Also Biomedical concentrates only on the individual, social medical does not solely concentrate on the individual.
