Equipping People To Make Sense Of What They Are Told
Illness - ill-health - ailments
A state of poor health is sometimes thought to be another word for disease. However
illness may be considered to the subjective perception of a persons experience [s]
of the symptoms of an objectively defined disease or condition.
The state of being healthy includes not merely the absence of disease and feeling
ill, it may be considered to be a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.
When these conditions are not fulfilled, then the person can be considered to be
experiencing an illness or to be ill.
Signs and symptoms
A symptom or symptoms of a condition is that which the person experiences it is how
they feel.
A sign or signs of a condition is that which is observed and noted by the health
professional [s] which provides indications of the condition [s] and enables them
