Can severe mental illness cause physical illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is what happens in your mind that allows you to keep up with the body maintenance (sleep/nutrition/toileting/exercise/etc.) If your mind does not function well enough that you ignore the bodies needs, you can develop significant illness as a side effect.
