not good for your body and may make you sick, especially about food, habits, or the way you live

Learners sometimes use *unhealthy* only for people and forget it is very common with food and habits (e.g. *unhealthy food*, *unhealthy lifestyle*). They may also say *it is very much unhealthy*; more natural is *it is very unhealthy* or *it is really unhealthy*.

harmful to mental or emotional health
bad for your mind or feelings, for example a relationship or place that makes you feel stressed or unhappy
用法パターン：
an unhealthy [relationship / atmosphere / dynamic / culture]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use only *toxic* for bad relationships and forget that *unhealthy* is also very common and slightly more neutral. They may also confuse this sense with physical health and say things like *the relationship is sick*, which sounds informal or strange; *unhealthy relationship* is the standard phrase.
類義語
toxic (very common informal term for extremely harmful relationships or environments.)
|
damaging (emphasizes the long-term harm done to a person’s mental state.)
対義語
healthy (about relationships or environments that support well-being.)

excessive and morally disturbing
used for an interest or feeling that is too strong and not normal, and that people find wrong or worrying
用法パターン：
an unhealthy [interest / obsession / fascination] in [something]
よくある間違い：
Learners may try to translate directly from their own language and say things like *dirty interest* or *bad interest*; in English *unhealthy interest* or *unhealthy obsession* is the natural phrase. Also, they sometimes confuse this with physical health and expect it to refer to the body rather than to morality or psychology.
類義語
morbid (often about an interest in death or unpleasant subjects.)
|
perverse (stronger; suggests something wrong or twisted by normal moral standards.)
|
excessive (focuses on the idea of being too much, not on the moral judgment.)
対義語
healthy (about a normal, balanced level of interest or attention.)
|
normal (indicates that a level of interest is usual and not worrying.)
