There is no clear consensus on the definition of mental health disease. However, there is a clear definition of mental health disorder, which is a clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental processes underlying mental functioning. The DSM is based on prototypes or symptoms and examples of the phenomenon in question, and it undergoes regular revisions and updates to reflect changes in the field of psychology and evolving understandings of mental health disorders.
