The Biopsychosocial Model and Research in Mental Health

Generally, in health care, it is thought that a bio-psychosocial model must be adopted to understand mental health. This model assumes interdependence among physical, psychological and social factors related to all aspects of mental health (Toates, 2010, p.14). In order to truly study the model, these factors must not be studied alone, but rather holistically. Important terms are defined, studies in the literature are evaluated, and it is evaluated to what extent they comply with the biophysiological model.

Health is a difficult concept to define. The World Health Organization defines health as the absence of illness, but health belongs to the following areas: physical health, mental health and social health. This is called a healthy biological psychosocial model and we will continue to return to it through the series. Let's start with the basics. Insufficient sleep and exercise will adversely affect your overall health. Your circadian rhythm (agility when you are asleep, the alertness when you are awake) and your normal function of your body will be disturbed. You may notice that your energy level is gradually declining, even "a sense of the weather". This alone makes you feel uncomfortable, annoying and difficult to bypass. You may capture people's excessive problems (usually not affecting you as well).

When considering violence and aggression in the mental health department, do not overlook the problem of greater violence and aggression in mainstream culture. Physical attacks in the mental health facility's environment appear to occur more frequently, and attacks include the patient's aggression for patients, patients and employees.
