IdeallyIdeally, , allall diseasesdiseases inin medicinemedicinewouldwould be be defineddefined inin termsterms ofof etiologyetiology. . ForFor most most illnessesillnesses, , howeverhowever, , wewe dodo notnot knowknow oror understandunderstandexactlyexactly thethe specificspecific etiologyetiology

Most Most ofof thethe disordersdisorders oror diseasesdiseases diagnoseddiagnosed ininpsychiatrypsychiatry areare syndromessyndromes: : collectionscollections ofof symptomssymptomsthatthat tendtend toto occuroccur togethertogether. .
