Illness

 

 Illness = Disease State - Treatment

 

Illness is the opposite of Health.

 

Disease state can be acute or chronic.  Treatment can be just about anything: medication, physical therapy, herbs, laying on of hands... whatever makes you feel less ill. 

 

Illness, of course, can equal 0 when no disease state is present or when treatment perfectly balances the disease state.

 

 

 

 

My edit to the Health formula:

 

Let x be the person concerned.

 

Let h(x) = 1 / (1 + sum over all diseases (d) of ( S(d) . T(d,t) ) )

 

Where S(d) is a measure of the severity of a disease, and T(d,t) is a measure of the time(t) you have had the disease (and the disease(d)) reflecting both coming to terms with a long term condition (descreases) and increased annoyance at those that drag on longer than expected (increases). n is the number of diseases that a patient has.

 

Then we have Health = H(x) = n1(x) Integral between 0 and h(x) of x^n2(x) dx.

 

Where n1(x) is a measure of how much a person values being in full health compared to other  and n2(x) is a measure of hypochondria/sensitivity to illness, it is positive, less than 1 for people that like being ill, normal people will be somewhere around 2.

 

This works in the opposite direction to the preexisting illness formula. 1 is full health.

For the purposes of this formula being dead has a serverity of +infinity.
