The statement "The condition must be categorical" is not a psychiatric criterion for mental illness. The criteria for mental illness typically include symptoms or behaviors that cause distress or impairment in functioning, as well as an increased risk of negative outcomes such as lost freedom, pain, or death. However, the condition does not necessarily have to be categorical (i.e. fitting neatly into a specific diagnostic category) in order to be considered a mental illness.
