"Malady" just means illness, disease or sickness. It is not a specific illness.

Malady is just another word for, "illness". To treat a malady, you need to know something about it. I.e., "what type of malady is it?"

A malady is a synonym for illness or sickness and its plural is maladies.

It's just an old fashioned term. Kinda like the word "condition" was used for pregnancy. Malady was used for women when they fainted or for menstrual related issues.

It's just an old generic term for sickness or illness.
