There are more than 2 types of illness. However one can certainly make a separation between illnesses of the mind and illnesses of the body.
There are two types of illnesses, mental illness and a physical 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.
Psychotic and non-psychotic
Self realization and reality.
There are two types of action verbs, a physical action(to run, to see) and mental action (to think, to remember).The action verb 'put' can be a physical action or a mental action.Examples:I put all of the dishes away. (a physical action)I put my children's needs first. (a mental action)
psychosis
Physical-related and Mental-related.

One answer was: "I don't understand how you can conceive that the two illness are the same. One is in the brain, the other is physical, pertaining to the body." In fact, there are many issues raised by the question: what is physical illness, what is mental illness, how clearly can these be defined, and is there a difference in clarity between such definitions? A physical illness is named when there is an injury to the body (e.g., a closed head trauma), an infection (as by a virus, fungus, or bacterium), or some systemic dysfunction in the physiology of the body (e.g., toxicity or diabetes). Ideally, there is a known cause and an effective course of treatment. A mental illness is named by observing behavior and speech. People report their experience (i.e., phenomenology), exhibit emotional expressions, are relatively aroused or relaxed, behave in expected or unexpected ways, and speak in coherent or confused utterances. When these observations violate social norms, significantly interfere with life functions, cause significant distress, negatively affect health, or otherwise detract from the quality of life and the responses persist despite efforts to ameliorate them, a label of mental illness is invoked. The division between "mental" and "physical" is not so easily determined. Many "mental" disturbances are caused by physical injuries, infections, or toxins. Many "physical" illnesses are influenced, exacerbated or even precipitated by psychological factors. Nonetheless, most so-called "mental illnesses" have components that have been learned. Sometimes, there are suspected physiological susceptibilities as well. Many illnesses in both categories can be reliably recognized and named by trained professionals familiar with the tools that science provides. Behavioral observations, laboratory assays and standardized tests are used to measure disorders in both categories of dysfunction. Some illnesses, of both types, elude identification; this is so when the illness is not clearly manifest, or when the science has not sufficiently progressed to make the definition certain. We speak of "physical" illnesses as something people "have." It may be more proper to speak of "mental" illnesses as something people "do." However, people truly suffer from either type of disorder.
