Additional information:
> Disease is a condition in which either mental or physical state or both the states are not accurate.
> Diseases can be broadly divided into two categories infectious and non-infectious.
- Diseases which are easily transmitted from one person to another, are called infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are very common and affect everyone at one point of life or another. Some infectious diseases like AIDS may cause death.
- Diseases which are not transmitted from one person to another, are called non-infectious diseases. Among non-infectious diseases, cancer is a fatal non-infectious disease.
> Drug, alcohol abuse and bad lifestyle also affect our health adversely.
