If mental illnesses can be categorised according to certain symptoms, for example, Schizophrenia and hearing voices, seeing things etc… then surely certain part(s) of the brain are not working correctly / damaged / underdeveloped etc in all sufferers… just as a broken arm for me is the same as someone 3000 miles away. So why do we say that often say Mental Illness’s are Psychological rather Psychiatric?

Just because something is psychological it doesn’t mean it isn’t real. It is a mental illness. An illness effecting the brain. The other option is neurological – but that is a more specific term. There are more types of psychological illness than basic brain damage.
