Answer 2

Condition: state of physical or mental conditions.
Disease:an unhealty condition caused by bacteria or infection
Disorder: an Illness
Syndrome: A combination of signs and symptoms that indicate a particular disease:

There are only slight differences they are all related in a medical sense to your physical or mental state..

Disease and syndrome are connected as a syndrome indicates a type of disease, as is condition to this as it would state the condition you where in due to the other two, as is disorder as it is a typpe of Illness which the other three tell you the symptoms off.....

Hope this helps there isnt really much difference between them only in their meanings.......

sickness and sickness are fairly a lot a similar. sickness many times refers to psychiatric ailments notwithstanding it is fairly a lot historic. Syndrome many times refers to a gaggle of syndromes and not using a wide-spread underlying reason (for AIDS - it is probable a historic call).
