What is a "syndrome"?

A syndrome refers to a set of opinions or behaviors that are typical of a particular type of person, attitude, or social problem. This usage emphasizes a repeated pattern or trend seen in certain groups or situations. For example, "affluenza" describes a syndrome where wealthy individuals show irresponsible behavior due to their privileged upbringing. In this sense, a syndrome captures the common traits or issues often seen in a specific context or group of people.
