mentally
This adverb distinguishes internal cognitive or psychological activity from external, physical action. It is frequently used to describe processes that occur entirely within the mind, such as calculating a sum or rehearsing a speech, where no outward movement is visible.
In a clinical or psychological context, the term shifts toward emotional stability and sanity. When paired with adjectives like unstable, ill, or exhausted, it refers specifically to the state of a person's mental health rather than their intellectual capacity.
