Examples include somatization disorder, conversion disorder, and illness anxiety disorder.

This condition is often referred to as "dissociation," where an individual may feel disconnected from their thoughts, feelings, or sense of identity. It can manifest as a detachment from reality, leading to a state where one’s physical presence is present, but their mental engagement is absent. This phenomenon can occur in various contexts, such as during trauma, stress, or certain mental health disorders.
Some people do categorise mental disorders as diseases, while others do not. Most medical institutions would rather avoid labelling it as a disease and will refer to mental disorders as "conditions", "disorders" or "illnesses".Mental disorders are not diseases in the literal or physical sense. Diseases are easy to spot, are physical and are relatively easy to treat. Mental disorders on the other hand are not easy to spot, are not physical and are difficult to treat. Mental illness is a disease in the metaphorical sense, but not the literal sense.It's currently a confusing subject. Mental illness is definitely recognised as a true medical issue and needs to be treated as such. But to categorise it as a disease means that we would have to universally change the definition of the word "disease". This is why most medical practitioners prefer to refer to it as either a condition, disorder or illness.
