Solution to these problems :

8.  Disease – It refers to an abnormal condition affecting an
organism. This abnormal condition could be due to
infection, degeneration of tissue, injury/trauma, toxic
exposure, development of cancer, etc. This is what needs
to be ‘cured’, especially if it’s life-threatening. It is more
specific and is determined by physician or health worker.
Difference among disease, illness and sickness

9.  Illness – It refers to the feelings that might come with
having a disease. Feelings like pain, fatigue, weakness,
discomfort, distress, confusion, dysfunction, etc. – the
reasons people seek healthcare – and usually the way
people measure their success with treatment.

10.  ‘Disease’ usually causes ‘Illness’ – Most of the time, a
disease will be accompanied by illness. And of course, a
decrease in feelings of illness can indicate the passing of a
disease. However, it’s worth noting that you can have one
without the other.
 ‘Disease’ without ‘Illness’ – It’s not uncommon for a
person to have a disease but have no experience of illness.
People can have something as simple as high blood
pressure, or as serious as a cancer, and not even know it.
Relationship between Disease and Illness

11.  ‘Illness’ without ‘Disease’ – This is a hot topic of debate.
‘Somatoform disorders’ are those that cause physical
symptoms, but no organic cause that can be detected
through medical examination.
 ‘Illness’ can affect ‘Disease’ – It’s no surprise that
disease is usually the cause of illness. But what’s really
interesting is how an illness can affect a disease process,
and perhaps even start it. For example, if you begin to
develop a stomach ulcer because of the H. Pylori
bacterium, the pain may cause you a lot of stress. But
stress has been shown to cause an increase in stomach
acid, and that bacteria thrives in an acidic environment!

12. The Health Sickness Spectrum

13.  Sickness – It is usually applied if people miss work or
cannot function normally in the society. This term does not
include mental illness.
