Abstract

Health and emotions have a greater impact over the aspects of well-being. In tins respect, it is interesting to focus on Physical mental and social Health strategies and its association with well-being of an individual. There are many health related issues which are expected to play greater role m adaptive functioning of a person. Several other health related challenges are the plausible consequence of maladaptive emotion regulation that leads to emotional and behavioural disturbances. Studies reveal that health and emotions regulation of well-being may influence help seeking behaviour, symptoms report, medical adherence and somatic health of the people. The way people regulate their health is shaped by bio-psychosocial and cultural processes. Gender differences have also been reported in emotional regulation strategies as studies indicate that women are comparatively better than men in attending, valuing, and expressing emotions in daily life. Other findings have reported that styles of emotional expression are related with health as individuals who repress their emotional symptoms exhibit poor health outcomes. While the Individuals, who feel emotions with greater intensity, differentiate among them and regulate them properly, show better health outcomes in their health related issues.
