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.
The science of the mind or of mental states and processes
Psychiatric is defined as "of or relating to mental disorders or psychiatry".
