The Connection Between Spiritual Wellness, Mental Wellness and Physical Wellness

The definition of holistic health is a concept in medical practice upholding that all aspects of people's needs, psychological, physical and social, should be taken into account and seen as a whole.  Wellness or health cannot be completely seperated into categories such as spiritual, mental and physical because they are interrelated and inextricably linked. 



When one is effected, there is no way that the others aren't effected as well.  If your spiritual wellness is poor, it impacts your mental and physical wellbeing and visa versa.  One example would be the psychological stress brought on by my mother's passing that caused me to develop physiological symptoms of headaches and lack of appetite.
