The classification, though, has no bearing on whether they’re real illnesses or how serious they are.

What Is a Syndrome?
This generally means treatments are lacking and there’s no known cure.
If the name of the illness contains the word syndrome, it may or may not be changed.
What Is a Disease?
The definition of disease is a little more complicated than that of syndrome.
When names are changed, it can take time for the new name to gain widespread use.
This isn’t the case.
It really just means that medical science hasn’t figured it out yet.
