Illness is being diagnosed as sick while disease is physical damage within our body

Personality: People Higher in neuroticism are more likely to report a medical condition
Gender: Women visit the doctor more than men
Stigma: They don’t to be labeled as weak, ill or incapable or be around someone weak ill or incapable
Age: Older people go to the doctor more than younger people
Religiosity: Religious people attribute everything to God so they don’t go to the damn doctor
Symptomology: If the symptomology is more easily recognized then people are more likely to go

Explain the concept of adherence.
Your ability to stick to a treatment plan your doctor tells you to do. Only about half of the people adhere to the treatment plan
State barriers to adherence, or those that encourage non-adherence.
Patient related factors: Self efficacy, not understanding the severity or condition o the disease. Those high in conscientiousness adhere better to treatment plans
Physician-Related factors : Doctors over-complicating the process or not properly explaining the the side effects of drugs. Lowering medication costs, a follow up call help as well as a pillbox
Health System/Team building related factors: Just living in America, the health system is fucking awful
