good thing about this is that it looks at small details of ones health, such as things at the
biological level such as pathogens and also looks at the persons overall health and well- being
and how they live their overall life in a healthy way. Disadvantages might include diagnosis, or
pin pointing the problem of a specific health problem since there are three caragories that
converge to form any one illness/health problem.
The biomedical model strictly relies on biological processes being the main source of a health or
illness. Its down falls are that is emphazises illness over overall health and health promotion
behavirs. It reduces illnesses to low level processes such as chemical ballance or cellular
function, and can leave several unanswered questions as to why specific people contract
specific illnesses. Its advantages are that it only has one aspect of health to look at, so things are
easier to "pinopont" and there is limited treatments compared to the biopsychsoc model.
