Illness means a condition where the body is not well. Mental illness is a condition where the mind is not well. Generally, mental illness refers to some sort of condition that is long-term, or chronic. For example, grief is not a mental illness, even though it does make you miserable. Depression would be a mental illness because it is a long-term feeling of being miserable.
