      As to mental illness and mental disorder
      This site explains the difference

      In a nut shell:

      Because "disease" specifies that the pathological condition be of a body part, people were less likely to use the term "mental illness" before it was understood that mental illness are diseases of the body.

      The difference between "mental disorder" and "mental illness," then is one of considering the origin of the condition.

        Your link description uses the word DISORDER right in the link.
        The very first sentence in the article you linked has the word DISORDER in it.
        What are you not understanding here?
        YOU have a mental disorder according to the link you provided.
        I have mental illness. I also have used NAMI quite frequently.

        What does it matter?

            Let's try this again...
            . A disorder is a disruption of regular physical or mental functions. And illness is a general state of unhealthiness OR a particular condition where the body does not work "normally". A disorder is a more specific type of illness. And, while we are at it, it also meets the definition for disease--"an impairment of the normal state of the living animal or plant body or one of its parts that interrupts or modifies the performance of the vital functions, is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms, and is a response to environmental factors (as malnutrition, industrial hazards, or climate), to specific infective agents (as worms, bacteria, or viruses), to inherent defects of the organism (as genetic anomalies), or to combinations of these factors",

            Oh, look...it meets the definition of all three.
            I call semantics.

              Third try lucky!
              Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
