Holistic concept of health

Answer 1

The word holistic comes from 'whole'. Therefore a holistic concept of health considers the whole person, rather than just the separate aspects of health. It recognises that each one of the aspects of health has an impact on the other ones. For example if a person is emotionally upset, their mental and physical health can also be affected. So could their social and spiritual health. Another example could be that if a person is not physically fit, because they have injuries, it would affect them emotionally as they are bound to be upset, and this could affect their mental health, which could then affect their social health, as they will not have the ability to make and maintain relationships. It is very difficult to separate the aspects of health as they are interrelated and interdependent.
