Q

Our personal representations of illness develop from exposure to many social and cultural sources of information, such as newspapers, education, personal experiences, the illness experiences of those close to us.

Some representations are abstract e.g. in the form of words such as these medicines will help my migraines, to concrete, emotionally evocative images such as vivid memories of experiencing the pain itself.
