May be because doing this we intervaning mental illness become physical? In mental illness usually nothing is physically wrong to actually could fix with medicine so by one way it's as if asymptomatic by physically and once it become chronic or advanced it causes physical changes. So intervaning before it cause systemic changes would be 2-dary prevention i think, but not sure :oops: .

answer is secondary prevention because it involves the treatment of the illness before disability
(whereas
tertiary prevention: rehabilitation efforts once disability occurs)

My answer is secondary as active treatment of disease in the initial stages falls under secondary prevention.
