This definition shifts emphasis from disease to functioning and participation (WHO, 2021). For Zambia, a country with diverse linguistic, ethnic, and religious communities and pronounced socioeconomic inequalities, this holistic definition is particularly salient. It foregrounds culturally mediated understandings of well-being and resilience, suggesting that interventions should address environmental, relational, and structural determinants, as well as individual symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee2e15e6524\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee2e15e6524\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/definitions-and-models-of-mental-health-and-illness\/#The_Biopsychosocial_Model\" >The Biopsychosocial Model<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/definitions-and-models-of-mental-health-and-illness\/#The_trauma-informed_model\" >The trauma-informed model<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/definitions-and-models-of-mental-health-and-illness\/#The_Recovery_Model\" >The Recovery Model<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/definitions-and-models-of-mental-health-and-illness\/#Integrative_culturally_responsive_practice\" >Integrative, culturally responsive practice<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/definitions-and-models-of-mental-health-and-illness\/#Table_11_Comparative_table_of_Models_of_Mental_Health_and_Illness\" >Table 1.1: Comparative table of Models of Mental Health and Illness<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Biopsychosocial_Model\"><\/span><strong>The Biopsychosocial Model<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5pBnQElE28A\">biopsychosocial model<\/a> situates <a href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/carl-jungs-collective-unconscious-theory-of-personality\/\">mental health<\/a> and illness at the intersection of biological, psychological and social influences (Engel, 1977). Biologically, genetic predisposition, neurodevelopmental variation and physical health conditions contribute to vulnerability and symptomatology. Psychologically, cognition, emotion regulation, coping styles and attachment histories shape responses to adversity. Socially, poverty, family dynamics, community cohesion, social capital, cultural beliefs and public policy exert powerful influences. In Zambia, the biopsychosocial perspective captures how endemic poverty, high burdens of infectious disease (including HIV\/AIDS and malaria), malnutrition, and limited access to healthcare interact with trauma, bereavement and social adversity to produce complex presentations of mental distress. For practitioners, this model mandates multidisciplinary assessment and interventions that combine pharmacological, psychotherapeutic and social support strategies adapted to local resources and cultural norms.<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Biopsychosocial Model: A Comprehensive Perspective on Addiction | DecrolyPsych\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5pBnQElE28A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_trauma-informed_model\"><\/span><strong>The trauma-informed model<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trauma-informed model recognises the pervasive impact of traumatic experiences on psychological functioning and social participation (Substance Abuse and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/carl-jungs-collective-unconscious-theory-of-personality\/\">Mental Health<\/a> Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2014). It emphasises safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration and empowerment in service delivery, and explicitly seeks to avoid re-traumatisation. In Zambia, where many communities have experienced political upheavals, economic shocks, loss from HIV\/AIDS, and episodic community violence and gender\u2011based violence, a trauma-informed approach is critical. This model directs social workers and health providers to screen for traumatic exposure, to apply culturally sensitive interventions that rebuild agency and safety, and to embed psychosocial support within community structures such as faith groups, traditional leadership and neighbourhood networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Recovery_Model\"><\/span><strong>The Recovery Model<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recovery model reframes outcomes away from symptom elimination towards personal recovery: living a meaningful life defined by hope, self-determination and social inclusion (Anthony, 1993; Slade, 2009).
