yea - a few years ago Pres Bush did a thing to remove 'disorder' from it - then adding syndrome came later

my bigger issue with it is that saying this stigmatizes disorders. also, the character says that it's not a disorder because we know what causes it

a syndrome in psychology is a group of symptoms for wich we don't know the cause

there's nothing wrong with having a disorder - i'm bipolar - so i guess for me it was more that media was changing the name in order to make it less okay to have a disorder than a syndrome
