Just to clarify:Communicable diseases are those caused by an infectious agent. For example, the
SARS-CoV-2 virus causes Covid disease. This disease can be passed from person to
person.
Noncommunicable diseases/disorders are those conditions in which the underlying
cause is not an infectious agent. For example, breast cancer is a leading cause of death
in the US, but it is not caused by an infectious agent. Accidents and Intentional selfharm are considered to be disorders (although it is possible that a psychiatric illness
might induce self-harming behavior). These diseases/disorders are not communicable
from person to person as infectious diseases are.
For example, you could choose breast cancer (noncommunicable disease) and
influenza (H1N1) (communicable disease).
