Confusion exists regarding the terms health and wellness. This article presents a conceptualization of health as consisting of social, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical components; a conceptualization of wellness as the integration of these components; and a conceptualization of high-level wellness as the balance of these components. Implications of these conceptualizations for health education are presented. Iatrogenic health education disease is discussed and a distinction is made between health education and health indoctrination.
