Holistic health is a comprehensive approach to well-being that considers the whole person—body, mind, spirit, and emotions—rather than just treating specific symptoms or illnesses. It emphasizes balance, self-care, and the interconnectedness of various aspects of life to achieve optimal health. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases, holistic health seeks to promote overall wellness and prevent ailments before they arise.

Mental health is a growing topic of concern in today’s society, with headlines often suggesting that issues like anxiety, depression, and stress are on the rise. Diagnosis like “Bipolar Disorder” or “Borderline” are often used casually in the popular vocabulary to describe someone’s observed behavioral pattern, without any medical diagnostic evidence. But is this truly the case? Let’s explore the factors contributing to this perception, whether it aligns with reality, and what it means for individuals and communities.
