physically, psychically

Physically or physically means in a corporeal or bodily way; in a material way, as opposed to a mental or emotional way--
He has trouble in school because he sometimes acts out his emotions physically.
He goes to the gym to stay physically fit.

Psychically or psychically means in a spiritual or mental way, as opposed to a physical or corporeal way--
Psychically, they're a perfect match; they get along very well together.
Psychically may also mean through the use of supernatural or paranormal perception of some kind--
She claims to be able to solve crimes psychically.
He thinks the dog can communicate psychically, but I think it uses body language and sounds.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"He is physically healthy, but psychically, he's a wreck."
