Understanding Mental Health: Why Emotional Well-being Matters

"Diseases of the soul" (spiritual/mental health ailments) are not medically classified as diseases in modern science. Diseases refer to abnormal physical/organic conditions. Psychological concerns impacting behavior/well-being are addressed as mental health challenges or psychological dysfunctions.

While some view moral corruption, emotional distress, anxiety, or existential turmoil as "soul diseases," modern psychotherapy/psychiatry categorizes these as emotional struggles requiring appropriate care.
