State of illness

What is Illness?


The mode of being healthy includes, as defined by the World Health Organization, " [...] a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (WHO, 1946). When these conditions are not fulfilled, then one can be considered to have an illness or be ill. Medication and the science of pharmacology is used to cure or reduce symptoms of an illness or medical conditions. Developmental disability is a term used to describe severe, life-long disabilities attributable to mental and/or physical impairments.


Ok, so I'm being infected by disease (cold, sore throat, migraine blah blah) and also mental illness? Depressed over the current state of global and macroeconomy, losing interest on doing repetitive stuffs. Man, this is sucks.

Perhaps, a cup of Dilmah Earl Grey tea could cheer me up? But can I drink these after taking my medication?
