Yes, and I'd go so far as to say that "mental illness vs. illnesses of the body" is a false dichotomy, not only because the brain is part of the body, but because there are many conditions that are both. Physical illnesses can cause psychiatric symptoms, mental illnesses can cause physical symptoms, etc. I think psychiatry could be better about a lot of things.
