The Impact of Mental Health on Physical Health
Abstract
The following research paper discusses the impact of mental health on physical health. A definition of mental health will be evaluated. By establishing a definition of each, co-dependency of the two entities is explained. Acute and chronic disease processes are explored and how they are impacted by the mental health of the individual. The quality of mental health affects how and to what extent the individual will heal. While evaluating co-dependency, the well-being of the individual will be defined as it relates to mental and physical trauma. The promotion of mental health is important for overall care of the individual encountering the healing process.
