The philosophy of mental illness examines the nature and causes of psychological disorders. It influences how we perceive and treat these disorders by shaping our beliefs about their origins, appropriate interventions, and societal attitudes towards those affected. This philosophy can impact the development of treatments, the allocation of resources for mental health care, and the stigma associated with mental illness.

There is no fundamental difference between so-called mental illnesses or disorders and physical illnesses or disorders; both are simply subsets of illness .In common usage none. However as I see it:a mental disorder is what you are diagnosed with.a mental illness is when that disorder actually interferes with your life.Nothing it's like STD(sexually transmitted disease) and STI(Sexually transmitted illness) It's just two different ways of saying the same thing.The terms are interchangeable in a sense. However, mental disorder is considered a more politically correct term, and the preferred term of many mental health professionals as well as their clients.

I don't think so. Mental illness refers to any of the many diagnosable disorders in the field of Psychiatry and mental health. They include disorders like major depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Usually, when people use the term 'mentally challenged', they are referring to someone who seems to have a deficit in intellectual ability or intelligence. An intellectual deficit is not a mental illness.
