Language matters when it comes to describing illnesses, their symptomatology, and their diagnostic and prognostic trajectories. While language around describing physical illnesses is straightforward, there is a considerable amount of variability, confusion, and misconceptions in defining or describing mental illnesses. Such confusions and misconceptions often dilute the understanding of mental illnesses, thereby encouraging reductionism. A part of the reason for reductionist approaches to mental illnesses might be attributable to the heterogeneity of experiences surrounding mental illnesses. This means similar diagnoses of mental illnesses can be accompanied by radically different symptom profiles. The current review aims to identify and critique the reductionism inherent in the narrative of four common mental illnesses (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder). In doing so, the paper will review the etiological sources of these illnesses and will bridge structural factors with individual factors to establish a more holistic understanding.
