Mental Disorder

1 answer

The correct term for an illness of the mind that can affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is Mental Disorder.

  • Mental Illness is a broader term that encompasses a variety of mental health conditions and often refers to diagnosed mental disorders.
  • Mental Disability typically refers to impairments that affect daily functioning and can result from various mental disorders, but it is not synonymous with mental illness itself.

So, in this context, Mental Disorder is the most accurate choice.
