Physical problems 'often mental'

They got that ALMOST right.

"The true burden of mental ill health is unrecognised since many 'physical' problems, like cancer and obesity, are really 'mind' problems, say experts."

Clearly, one has to be mentally ill to make the bad choice to get fat.

That does not mean we should pay to rescue them from the "mental illnesses" of stupidity and bad decision-making.
