Health is a big term. Most current dictionary still define health as a state of being not sick. However, health is beyond not being sick. it should include not only physical illness, but also need to consider a person’s psychological, social, and spiritual side of life.

In conclusion, as it is stated above the two health models both see health in a different scope. The biomedical model defines health in terms of not being sick. The biopsychosocial model tries to see health in a bigger picture. It says a person is not health if he/she is just not sick, but he/she might have a psychological, social and spiritual life crisis. If that is the case then, the model says heathy is the wellbeing of physical, mental, social, and spiritual life of a human
