The five dimensions of holistic health are interrelated. A person is affected physically if food and shelter are not fully satisfied. This individual will also be affected emotionally as she/he may feel inadequate, insecure, and unsafe. And how will this affect the mental health of the person? Anxiety may develop when individuals are worrying about their condition. Relationship with family, friends, and with others may suffer also when a person is not contented and his/her longing for love and affection is not met. When the physical, mental,
emotional, and social needs are not fulfilled, a person may resort to unethical behaviour to satisfy his/her basic needs.
