One's health is comprised of various realms, such as mental, physical, and social
health. These realms of health can greatly affect one another. For example,
patients that have long-term illnesses may often become depressed. In this case,
their physical health is affecting their mental health.
• Provide an example from your own life of how various realms of health affect
each other.
• How can one's social and mental health affect their physical health for good
or for bad?
