Modern Medical Model This is consistent with the biopsychosocial model of health, which considers physiological, psychological and social factors in health and illness, and interactions between these factors. Health is more than the absence of disease, implying a maximum capacity of the individual for self-realization and self-fulfillment. Concept of Health Health is a relative state in which one is able to function well physically, mentally, socially, and Spiritually to express the full range of one’s unique potentialities within the environment in which one lives.
