Q- Why health and disease are antagonistic to each other?
Answer- Health as well as disease, are called antagonistic to each other because health is a state of being completely (social, physical as well as mentally) normal and all the body parts or organs are functioning properly.
Health is the other word for the state of being comfortable whereas on the other hand disease is a word that is formed from two ‘dis’ and ‘ease’ which means not easy or not comfortable.
A disease is a state of an abnormal condition of the body that adversely or negatively affects the function as well as structure of an organism. In it, the body part of an organism does not function properly and this is not because of any kind of external injury or damage.

Disease
The term Disease is constituted from two words ‘dis’ and ‘ease’ which means discomfort.
Disease refers to any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical injury.
A diseased or infected organism commonly exhibits signs & symptoms indicative of its abnormal state. Hence, the normal condition of an organism must be understood in order to recognize the hallmarks of a particular disease. Nevertheless, a sharp demarcation between disease and health is not always apparent.
The study of disease is called pathology. Pathology involves the determination of the cause (etiology) of the disease, the structural changes associated with the disease process (morphological changes), the understanding of the mechanisms of its development (pathogenesis), and the functional consequences of those changes. The diseases can be easily identified by the sign and symptoms.
Many diseases have the same symptoms but some of the signs and symptoms are different.
