systemic
Refers to an entire system and not just to individual parts. This way of looking at things is often used in therapy, biology, or management to understand connections and interactions.

In systemic therapy, not only the patient is considered, but their whole social environment.
The adjective 'systemisch' (systemic) is derived from the noun 'das System' (the system). The ending '-isch' turns the noun into an adjective and means 'in the manner of a system' or 'relating to a system.'
Wir brauchen einen systemischen Ansatz, um das Problem zu lösen.
We need a systemic approach to solve the problem.
'Systemisch' (systemic) is a technical term used mainly in scientific, therapeutic, or management contexts. In normal everyday life, the word is used rarely.
Die systemische Forschung untersucht komplexe Zusammenhänge.
Systemic research examines complex connections.
The context makes clear which meaning is intended. In connection with therapy, counseling, or management, it is about considering the entire social system. In medicine, it refers to the entire body.
Eine systemische Beratung bezieht die ganze Familie mit ein.
Systemic counseling includes the whole family.
In the general, non-medical meaning, 'systemisch' (systemic) is often combined with words such as 'Ansatz' (approach), 'Denken' (thinking), 'Beratung' (counseling), or 'Therapie' (therapy).
Systemisches Denken hilft, die Ursachen von Problemen zu erkennen.
Systemic thinking helps identify the causes of problems.
local
In medicine, 'lokal' and 'systemisch' are often opposites. 'lokal' means that something acts or occurs only at a specific part of the body. 'systemisch' means that the whole organism is affected or that the effect reaches the whole body. The words can be confused because both describe how far-reaching a disease or medication is. Remember: a local ointment acts only on the treated area, while a systemic medication acts throughout the whole body.
Bei einer schweren Entzündung kann eine systemische Behandlung nötig sein.
In the case of severe inflammation, systemic treatment may be necessary.
