Chapter Two:  Psychological Health

1. Health

True health is more than just "not being sick" 

According to the World Health Organisation, health is more than just not being sick; it is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." In other words, if you are having problems with one aspect of your health, you will have problems with the other two as well. For example, your mood and your social well-being will always be affected if you have a physical disease - it doesn't matter if that disease is as serious as cancer or as minor as the common cold.
