Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, socio-cultural transformations and the expansion of the information space have profoundly influenced the content and methodology of health research. In contemporary science, the concept of health is no longer confined to biological parameters but is interpreted as a biopsychosocial phenomenon that necessitates a comprehensive examination of the interrelation among the physical, psychological, and so-cial dimensions of human existence. Within this framework, understanding mental well-being as a fundamen-tal prerequisite for physical health has become a pivotal direction in interdisciplinary studies of human integ-rity. This article provides a comprehensive philosophical and medical analysis of the interconnection between mind and body. Drawing on the works of thinkers and scholars from antiquity to the present day, it elucidates the significance of psychosomatic unity in shaping human existence. From a medical-paradigmatic perspec-tive, the reciprocal influence of body and soul is examined, revealing their harmony as a continuation of the holistic worldview within modern scientific thought. The relevance of the study is determined by the increas-ing importance of reinterpreting the unity of mind and body under conditions of spiritual crisis, psycho-emotional instability, and transformation of life values in contemporary society. The research integrates phil-osophical-anthropological and medical perspectives, highlighting the harmony of mind and body as a key de-terminant of human well-being and quality of life. The findings substantiate that physical health is inextrica-bly linked to mental well-being, and that their interdependence constitutes the essential foundation of both physical stability and spiritual resilience.
