The biopsychosocial model of health. Biopsychosocial models are a class of trans-disciplinary models which look at the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. These models specifically examine how these aspects play a role in a range of topics but mainly psychiatry, health and human development.
The central hypothesis of the TN model suggests that for some individuals experiencing psychosis, heightened sensitivity to stress may be mediated by childhood trauma. [1] Alterations in increased stress reactivity are expected to manifest as dysregulation of physiological mechanisms responsible for maintaining adaptive stress responses (i.e ...
A large range of differences exists among individuals' vulnerabilities to the development of a disorder. [1] [2] The diathesis, or predisposition, interacts with the individual's subsequent stress response. Stress is a life event or series of events that disrupt a person's psychological equilibrium and may catalyze the development of a disorder ...
Recent advances in psychological, medical, and physiological research have led to a new way of thinking about health and illness. This conceptualization, which has been labeled the biopsychosocial model, views health and illness as the product of a combination of factors including biological characteristics (e.g., genetic predisposition), behavioral factors (e.g., lifestyle, stress, health ...

Models of disability are analytic tools in disability studies used to articulate different ways disability is conceptualized by individuals and society broadly.

One evaluation of the different stresses in people's lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale.
