Human beings are a mix of Body-Mind-Spirit,and health is maintaining a balance between the three. A disturbance in one may provoke imbalance and disturbance in other parts of the triad.

Even the most physical of diseases will have implications for Mental health-a man who breaks his leg and is laid up for several weeks will be concerned and anxious about his job and his family. Will he be able to return to work and be as fit and able as before? The frightened, anxious person may have anginal attacks, sleep poorly, smoke heavily and abuse alcohol in attempt to anaesthetize some of that pain and distress.

Mental Health is at the heart of the brain/mind interface. Man among all the animals has a consciousness of himself, a curiosity about his world and a spark of the divine in that there is a constant and restless searching for good, truth, god…..He is aware of good and evil and believes in his capacity to make free choice.

The body is there to support the mind and spirit.The human body is a superb machine;it culminates in the brain and arguably it exists for this purpose above all else.Yet there is interaction between mind and body-we are influenced by the biological imperatives-maternal instinct, self preservation, food, sex;our bodies require to be groomed, fed and clothed. A physical illness, a disturbance to our "internal environment"-a change in body temperature, blood sugar, pH may provoke delusion, hallucination or epileptiform convulsions.
