Being mentally hurt is far more atrocious than it being physically since, as others have said, has long-term effects. A good example would be that if a person has a weak mind, they're spirit could easily be crushed by mental abuse. They would start to think that they are nothing but insignificant, useless lifeforms. Or, if the person who inflicts this pain so wishes it, could even lead the abuse to manipulation; thereby controlling the victim as if he/she were just a puppet.

On the other hand, physical pain can also cause some lasting effects if it damaged the human body enough to do so; like having third-degree burns on one's body and other similar visual/near-death experiences.
