Definition: A recognizable pattern of signs, symptoms and/or behaviours, especially of a disease or medical or psychological condition.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look,
At a word that’s tricky, a puzzling hook!
“Syndrome,” it reads, the dictionary bright,
Let's break it down with all our might.
It means a pattern, clear and true,
A group of things – for me and you.
Think of it like this, a consistent show,
Of signs and symptoms, don’t you know?
Like when you have the sniffles, feeling blue,
That's a symptom, honest and true!
And maybe tiredness, a heavy sigh,
Those are signs that catch your eye.
A syndrome’s more than just one thing done,
It’s a collection, under the sun.
Especially in medicine and mind,
For illnesses and feelings you might find.
So remember this, it's a common plea,
"Syndrome” means a pattern for all to see!
Now, does anyone have an example they’d like to share? Let’s discuss!
