Answer

an illness to which both the mind and body contribute.

Explanation

A psychosomatic disease involves an interaction between psychological factors, such as stress or emotions, and physical processes in the body. It is not an illness with no symptoms, nor is it produced entirely by the mind; both mind and body contribute, so the answer is “an illness to which both the mind and body contribute.”
