Usually we only think of ourselves as sick when there is something is physically wrong - arm or head hurts or something like this.
But we are always sick as long as we are subject to the general and particular sufferings of samsara, for they are the worst sicknesses.
We actually have a truly incurable illness - samsara. It is beginning-less, there is no end in sight, and we cannot get rid of it simply by dying.
His Holiness, 17th Gyalwang Karmapa
