Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself?

There are too many terms. If you simplified every medical term you’d end up with too many words that were almost identical but meant very different conditions.

I see it like thinking you could compress all possible number strings to a simpler number that’s easier to remember.
