Fashionable diseases, past and present

Oh, I dunno. I find people’s complaints about it annoying enough, and yet not serious enough, to qualify.

But, if you insist, then the answer has to be ‘depression’. Not the actual condition, but the diagnosis of ‘depression’, which is presently being applied to absolutely anything and everything a doctor can’t figure out - the alternative being Somatoform Disorder - which according to the most recent official definition, includes so many actual symptoms of real diseases ans disorders that it, also, means, “We dunno, therefore, you made it up in your own head”. Either way? There’s an antidepressant with your name on it. That’s pretty much on par with being diagnosed with ‘the vapors’.

Better?
