The first answer is wrong.
A pathogenic disease is a disease caused by an external agent, a so-called pathogen, such as a bacterium, a virus, or a worm.
Examples would include Malaria, Cholera, TB, Sleeping sickness and many others.
A physiological disease is a disease where a normal physiological process of the body is disturbed.
Examples would be a stroke, where the blood supply to the brain is interrupted and the brain dies, or type I diabetes where the body is unable to produce enough insulin. And of course many others.

Why can't you just look it up in a dictionary?? Or online?
I don't know the exact definition of Pathogenic diseases, but it has to do with bacteria and viruses, like chickenpox or salmonella poisoning.
Physiological diseases have more to do with the mind, so I would think that mental illnesses would apply to physiological diseases.

PATHOGENIC DISEASES: Biotic or Parasitic; caused by a living organism and spreads as the organism attacks other plants.
ie: Fungi, Bacteria, Viruses
PHYSIOLOGICAL DISEASES: Non-infectious and are caused by adverse environmental, chemical, or soil factors that result in abnormal plant growth and development.

1---physiological diseases it is not really diseases ,it's attempt of the body "usually brain" to cope with the external challenges or periodical challenges by increase an organ or tissue activity to resemble as it is diseased , for example
-- physiological goiter = enlagement af thyroid gland and increase it secretion at puberty age to promote growth "as thyroid hormone one of growth hormones" thyroid become normall after puberty period
-- physiological polythycaemia = means increase number of red blood cells above normal value at those indvidual lives at high places "like mountains" to cope with lake of oxygen
-- physiological amenoreah = stop menstraution of female due to pyshicic cause as war peroid to prevent get pregnant menstruation resume after cause ends
2--- pathological diseases this is disturbance of normal body activities by many causes as leakage of nutrients or infections or trauma or radiations so this disturbance not made by body it self (brain) for example
--Pathological goiter = enlagment of thyroid gland and increase its secretion at any age due to many causes as infection , radiation , drugs , toxin and it has many complications "not benifts" to the body need treatment "surgical or medical" to cure
--Pathological polythycaemia = due to distubance of bone marrow or spleen it lead it increase blood viscosity leading to thrombosis then embolism "could be fatal" need treatment
--pathological amenoreah : for many causes also need treatment

I think:
Pathogenic is physical, like part of your body and you can see it. like cancer
Physiological is in your mind like a mental illness such as bi polar disorder.
