How is mental-emotional health different from mental illness?

Answer 1

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.
