• Students receive one mark for demonstrating how physical health and wellbeing can influence mental health and wellbeing and another mark for showing how mental health and wellbeing can influence physical health and wellbeing. Note that a reference to the case study must be used to be eligible for full marks. Examples worth two marks include:
• Phil would be feeling tired (physical health and wellbeing) and might not be able to go to school which could cause him stress from falling behind in his studies (mental health and wellbeing). If Phil is stressed, his immune system may slow the recovery process from his condition and mean that he experiences the physical symptoms for a longer period (physical health and wellbeing).
• By being sick, Phil may feel upset (mental health and wellbeing). He may eat foods that make him feel better mentally which could impact on his energy levels which is physical health and wellbeing. By experiencing physical symptoms of the flu (physical health and wellbeing), Phil may not have high levels of confidence in himself which is a part of mental health and wellbeing.
