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?

Schizophrenia is a poorly understood brain disease that presents itself as psychological symptoms such as dissociated, confused speech, unpredictable changes of affect (emotion), inability to meaningfully relate to other people, etc. Many people even today mistakenly believe that it is “only” psychological. It is a biological brain disorder.
