The "Two Continua Model of Mental Health" proposed by Corey L. M. Keyes is a conceptual framework that challenges the traditional binary approach to mental health, which typically views mental health and mental illness as opposite ends of a single spectrum. Instead, Keyes argues for a dual-continua model, where mental health and mental illness exist as related but distinct dimensions. This model brings a more holistic understanding of psychological well-being and is particularly useful when analyzed through the lens of gendered dimensions of health. In Keyes’ model, the first continuum measures the presence or absence of mental illness (such as depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, etc.), while the second continuum measures the presence or absence of positive mental health (or what Keyes terms “flourishing”). According to this approach, individuals can experience: 1. Flourishing – high levels of well-being and absence of mental illness 2. Languishing – low levels of well-being but also absence of diagnosable mental illness 3. Struggling – high levels of well-being but presence of mental illness 4. Floundering – low levels of well-being and presence of mental illness This model allows for a nuanced understanding of mental health by recognizing that an individual might not have a mental illness but still may not be psychologically well (i.e., languishing), or conversely, someone may be experiencing a mental illness but still have a strong sense of meaning, ________ ___ _________ ______ ___ ____ _________ _________ ____ _______.
