contribution to his community. WHO states that there is no health without mental health.
Physical health is an important attribute for the overall well-welfare & includes various attributes
of health such as social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual &environmental health. Most serious
signs of unhealthy is apparent physically. For sustaining health and wellness it is important to
address all above mentioned dimensions. Psychosocial health is interaction between a person's
history his thoughts and interpretations, how an individual deals with the stressful situations,
how he controls his anger, hate, tension and anxiousness. Mental, physical and psychosocial are
basically linked, it can't be thought as separate but a clear difference is often made between mind
and body (Boscart and et. al., (2020)). Poor physical health can result in raised chances of
development of mental health problems. Likewise, poor mental health can also negatively impact
on the physical health, resulting in risk of some medical conditions. In this report, case study is
designed which is based on individual who is facing serious problems regarding mental illness
and psychological disorder, symptoms and overall scenario in context with history and output
which is gained as a result of treatment.
