Health vs. Illness
When people discuss mental health, the words “health” and “illness” are used interchangeably, since there is a connection: an illness can alter your health.
However, there is a drastic distinction between these two concepts. A mental illness is a medical condition, while mental health encompasses overall wellness of the person's mind and incorporeal being.
Alas, in the majority of conversations around mental wellbeing the participants associate mental health with illnesses, creating negative stigmas around both.
