Given the importance of the link between mental and other medical conditions, JCPP Advances organized a special issue on the topic; yet since then, very few papers have focused on this area. As such, this editorial perspective aims not only to highlight the link between mental and other medical conditions, but also to (1) explore the origins of the divide between mental and "physical" health, (2) provide evidence that this so-called divide does not exist in actuality, (3) highlight the harms of maintaining such a divide, and (4) discuss strategies to bridge this divide to address this monumental mistake, which has been perpetuated throughout medicine.
