Feedback:
The clinical model of health focuses on the elimination of disease or symptoms. For example, some people feel that they are well when they have no symptoms or diagnosed diseases and would not classify themselves as sick otherwise. The role performance model holds that health involves a fit between people and social roles. In the adaptive model, health involves adaptation to the environment. The eudaimonistic model of health holds that health is the actualization or realization of human potential.
