摘要

Abstract

Research interest concerning mental illness has been on the rise in recent years

which is intensified by the outbreak of the Covid-19. In spite of being an equally crucial part of life

mental health is different from and yet intertwined with physical health. This paper investigates whether there is any mental illness that is not ultimately physical. By firstly introducing the definition

characteristics and diagnosis of mental illness

the paper examines the non-physical antecedents

consequences and treatments of mental illness to delineate a thorough picture. The paper then uses the example of Binge Eating Disorder to further demonstrate that there is mental illness that can be ultimately non-physical. The findings of this paper provide certain insights into mental illness's diagnosis and treatment.
