CONCEPTOF ILLNESSANDITSRELATIONTOPERSON’SPERCEPTIONABOUTLIFEIllness is regarded as an unhealthy condition of mind and body both in which the persondoes not feel good because of any disease and health condition. Thus, in this respect the presentresearch study has been developed with the purpose of discussing the relationship betweenillness and a person’s sense of embodiment (Al‐Smadi and et.al., 2016). Therefore, researcherwill be discussing own experience in terms of specifying the relationships between illness andthe way it changes the behavioural and mental aspects of thinking. Furthermore, discussion hasalso been included regarding how a person develops new relationship with the body especiallywhen the person is ill.

Ihave also analysed that at the time of dealing with the patient, I need to ensure that I amconsidering positive and negative both the aspects so that I can give best solution to the patient.

At the same time,the person also felt guilt for himself because he was worried about social consequences. In thisrespect, I have noticed that the feeling has developed negative relationship with the body becauseof HIV positive (Boyd, 2017). During that time, he also felt that there is no cure to this problem;hence there is no sense to focus on maintaining physical fitness and other aspects. This is yetanother facet that made him lose the hope of living life. Further, the patient also had the problem3
