What are the differences between the social model of health and the biomedical model of health?
The Medical Model of health tries to treat people through the use of medicine and science, and it doesn't take into account the social and emotional factors of how the injury, illness, or disease was caused or brought on.
It looks at the root cause of the problem, rather than telling the patient how it happened so they can avoid making the same mistake again e.g. If a Smoker contracts throat Cancer, if he's not told it's caused by smoking, they he wont know not to smoke again, which may make him ever more ill in the long term.
However, One advantage of this model is that it provides vaccinations such as Flu Jabs which help save people in the Long run e.g. Flu Jabs for O.A.P's
Social ModelFocuses on the cure for an illness
Focuses on the origins of the illness rather than the cure
Aim to free patients from medically defined diseases infectious or otherwise including cancer or heart problems
Aim to change environmental factors to allow for healthier choices
Uses medical knowledge to treat unhealthy patients (very scientific)
Use holistic remedies like reflexology or reiki to treat the patients (contempary therapy)
Very persuasive -if a doctor advises you on something you are very likely to have the treatment without questioning as you take their word for it
Allows the individual to make choices in regards to their health. Advise is given on the treatment but not obliged to go through it
Has financial funding from the government
Has many financial implications as it is not scientifically proven to help so less people are willing to invest

How does the biomedical model affect mortality rates?
The biomedical model, which focuses on the biological aspects of disease and neglects social and environmental factors, can influence mortality rates by leading to a narrow understanding of health. This model may result in inadequate attention to preventive measures and lifestyle factors that contribute to health outcomes, thus potentially increasing mortality rates from preventable diseases. Additionally, it may exacerbate health disparities by failing to address the social determinants of health, leaving vulnerable populations at greater risk. Overall, reliance on this model can limit the effectiveness of healthcare systems in improving population health.

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.
