PSYCHOLOGICAL OVERVIEW
Health, wellness is conceptualised differently across cultures, groups and prospective entities. How is it explained, understood, diagnosed and tackled, depends on how society (or the specific entity) interprets it.
The western way in which knowledge is generated in regards to the acknowledgement of the value of African indigenous systems of knowledge, that marginalizes African systems of knowledge on health and wellness, calls for an inclusive evaluation of such aspects.
Overall, entities such as the workplace, school and cooperate bodies are rich in indigenous knowledge systems, and can contribute to practices and social values by enhancing the enactment of understanding a community, culturally, spiritually, psychologically and holistically.
Health, wellness and the inadequacy of retaining good health, such as mental illness, has not received sufficient attention in pathology, the discipline of Psychology, in the health sector, and in the exploration of individuals and their overall well-being. The understanding of such a discipline depends on actions, thought processes and expectations and how these factors are considered, evaluated and accepted.
