Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens, chronic diseases are long-lasting, mental health disorders affect mood, thinking, and behavior, genetic disorders are caused by DNA abnormalities, and autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body's tissues. Nutritional deficiencies can lead to anemia, scurvy, and rickets.
