In Nurgle's case it would probably manifest physically, though it could also be a mind-affecting parasite, like Chaos-infused toxoplasmosis.

It's diseases, not illnesses.
Nurgle diseases usually infect with certain mentality. They are not physical diseases, they are spiritual and mental disease that once get a hold on a person will manifest the symptoms of a physical disease.

For example, The Zombie Plague (picture related). Then you have the Plague of Lies. A disease that infects anyone with a lie in their heart. And so on and so forth.

People with great faith and mental fortitude such as the Sisters of Battle are highly resistant to Nurgle's diseases.

He is also the god of despair and hopelessness

In his liber chaotica book, there's lots of stuff about him corrupting people to worship him via influencing their environment and state of mind to a point where they start praying to him

Nurgle IS the mental illness and its product.

I feel like mental diseases like Alzheimer's or schizophrenia would be in the realm of Tzeentch

Physical diseases, by and large. If there is a mental component, then it would have a physical manifestation.

Nah, that's reserved for Tzeentch and Slaanesh

Nurgles diseases are spiritual, psychological that manifest physical ailment as well. He is the embodiment of decay, dysfunction and death.
