MHApps Take Control Managing Models Modelling Illness Using Models
-
You will frequently hear the word model being used to describe an accepted approach to understanding or managing health issues.
Stress Vulnerability Model - too much stress, can affect mental health
Bio Psycho Social Model - body, mind, community
Medical Model - doctors, nurses, hospital
Social Model - friends, family, community
Multi Modal - several models used together
The problem with all such models is that while they do now recognise that no one size fits all, there is still an expectation that the person will actually fit under a number of the labels used.
All you need to know is what works best for you and get the models working with you.
