So if there's some "thing" that creates a mental health problem you'd call it an illness, but otherwise you'd call it, well, what?
That space of what to call it is problematic. Some people fill that gap with judgemental terms - sloth, laziness, weakness, etc.
And I'm not sure why you think treating MH problems as an illness is a bad thing - what are the negative consequences of doing so?
