Q
What is a syndrom?
A
A syndrome is a collection of events, behaviours, or feelings that often go together.
Example: The depression syndrome is a collection of feelings and behaviours that have been found to characterise depressed people as a group. You may find that you experience all or some of these feelings and behaviours. There are many individual differences to the number of symptoms and the extent to which different symptoms are expected.
