Health is a complex
concept, which refers mainly to an individual’s well-being in
a given environment, rather than to the absence of a disease,
as that is defined by pathology and the traditional biomedical
health approach. Moreover, the symptoms of a disease
reflect a deeper disturbance of the biopsychosocial balance
of an individual and thusly, the definitive treatment of the
“disease” lies mainly on treating effectively the underlying
causes and not the superficial ones.
