Absolutely!\n\nI have a degree in "mind and body transformational psychology", and a lot illnesses are caused my mental, and emotional distress.  \n\nWhen you are not happy, you are out of balance, and it will cause minor medical conditions, that that can turn into major medical conditions.  \n\nObesity is one of the fastest growing medical diseases, and much of it is caused by stress, or abuse.

It's not a mental "disease", it's a state of mind that switches from being in a peaceful state of mind to being in a stressed state of mind with the help of a small irritation. It's just being easily angered is all...

This is true especially in the field of psychiatry.  The criteria in psychiatry's bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illness are vague and ill-defined.  There is no objective test such as a blood test to determine if someone has a mental illness, and psychiatrists constantly create new categories of mental illness by voting them into existence at their conventions.  Psychiatric diagnoses, needless to say, are very controversial.

depression is a mental disease, so no. if you have diabetes or cancer is it a sin? it is time for society to see depression as a real disease and not something people just decide to have.

It's useful because we all know how to take care of ourselves health-wise and we can't do that if we don't understand our body.\nHealth is more than wealth.

Mental Health, by which they mean are your thoughts well, is very peaceful when people decide upon a standard thought for scary things. Each has his own too.

I suppose you mean keeping your mind off of unhealthy things.  There are two kinds of health.  There is spiritual health and there is material health.  \n\nSpiritual health is actually the most important kind of health.  Realizing our true spiritual existence is really what separates human beings from animals.  \n\nThe material health is important too, but we just don't want material health to exceed spiritual health in importance.  Material health includes health of the body and mind.  But, may also include social health such as financial and legal.  \n\nBoth spiritual and material health can be improved with the right knowledge.  \n\nFind the knowledge that is good for your two kinds of health.  Associate with those who can encourage your health.  \n\nSo finding better things to do with your mind and body will help you to keep your mind off of unhealthy things.

The only valid reason for any prescribed medicine would be a serious impairement.  Otherwise, all medication should be weaned down and eliminated.  We are made to be healthy.  We are not made to be sick.  With reasonable eating and exercise, most of us can handle daily life pretty well.
