In an era of increasing chronic diseases, what is the role of wellness?
Due to lifestyle variables and chronic disorders like hypertension and ADHD, which account for nearly 68% of all chronic diseases, the urban population is more likely to have mental health issues in today’s fast-paced society. The economy, healthcare system, and families of the younger generation are impacted in a cascading effect. Unfortunately, symptoms are viewed in isolation, even if underlying hereditary or lifestyle factors are frequently to blame. In addition to treating symptoms, identifying the underlying reason gives patients the ability to take charge of their own health. A comprehensive approach to wellbeing and individualised care will have a beneficial, long-lasting effect.
