Nobody would claim that I became healthier if I started coughing blood, lost control of a limb, or developed chronic headaches.

Nobody would claim that I became more moral if I started stealing, killed two people for money, or turned into a notorious liar. That there are conditions uncontroversially classified as disease doesn't mean that the boundary is strict and precise.
