PANDEMIC RESPONSE THROUGH WHOLE PERSON CARE: THE INTERSECTION OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH AND THE LAW |
31 Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences 115 (Summer, 2022) |
It is common in medical literature, as well as in media, to refer to a person's mental and physical health as two separate entities. However, that paradigm has been challenged in recent years as the impact of stress, commonly thought to be related primarily to mental health, has come to be recognized in downstream effects on a person's physical... |
