Examples...
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome
Pre Menstrual Syndrome
ETC.
The list goes on. Calling something a "syndrome" makes it extremely easy to decide to not research something because it seems "vague" or "too complex" and it's absolute BS. These conditions NEED MONEY to figure them out.
