One way of conceptualizing wellness is to envision a continuum between severe illness and optimal health, also known as the The Illness-Wellness Continuum. The illness- wellness continuum was first proposed by John Travis in the year 1972. It can be illustrated as below;

Premature death<------ neutral point -----------> high level wellness.

As you can see from above the illness-wellness continuum shows the relationship describing well-being. The right arrow points to high level wellness and the left arrow points to premature death.

The illness-wellness continuum has a neutral point which means that there is no discernable illness or wellness.
