10. Differentiate
Disease from
Sicknes & illness

11. Illness
The concept cycle of “illness,” “disease,” and “sickness,”
has been used to capture different aspects of ill health,
Illness is defined as the ill health the person identifies
themselves with, often based on self reported mental
or physical symptoms. In some cases this may mean
only minor or temporary problems, but in other cases
self reported illness might include severe health
problems or acute suffering. It may include health
conditions that limit the person’s ability to lead a
normal life.
11

12. Disease
Disease, on the other hand, is defined as a condition
that is diagnosed by a physician or other medical
expert. Ideally, this would include a specific diagnosis
according to standardized and systematic diagnostic
codes. This would in most cases also mean that the
specific condition has a known biomedical cause and
often known treatments and cures.

13. Sickness
Sickness is related to a different phenomenon, namely
the social role a person with illness or sickness takes
or is given in society, in different arenas of life.
Sickness is relating to sickness absence from work.
Such data are often used to measure social
consequences for the person of ill health.
