The biomedical model is a framework used in medicine that focuses on biological factors to explain health and illness. It emphasizes the role of physical processes, such as genetics, biochemistry, and physiology, while often overlooking psychological and social influences. This model is commonly applied in diagnosing and treating diseases, relying on medical interventions like medications and surgeries. While effective for many conditions, the biomedical model has limitations. It tends to simplify complex health issues by not considering the impact of lifestyle, environment, and mental health. As a result, alternative approaches, such as the biopsychosocial model, have emerged to provide a more comprehensive understanding of health.
