I chose to read the article written by the Mayo Clinic Staff which links social support to stress management. I think the article is useful for someone at any point in their life, whether high stress or low stress. It gives way that a person could create more friends so that person has people around when needed, or ways that a person could reduce stress through social interaction. The article explains that being close to other people gives a sense of belonging and worth. I think this is an excellent way to look at health from the biopsychosocial perspective, because it examines overall wellbeing before illness even begins. Being surrounded by positive people can prevent excessive stress, and also lower it if the stress is already occurring
