Understanding Health: Beyond the Absence of Disease | [Your Brand/Website]

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

The absence of disease is not necessarily the same as health, as a person can be free from disease but still not be in a state of complete well-being.

For example, a person may be physically healthy, but they may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues.

Therefore, it is important to consider all aspects of well-being when assessing a person's health.
