Disease is the leading medical term .
Disorder mean ?
much the same ,
with perhaps some slight reference to an irregularity of the system .
Distemper is now used by physicians only of the diseases of animals .
Malady is not a medical term ,
and is less used than formerly in literature .
Affection has special reference to the part ,
organ ,
or function disturbed ;
as ,
his disease is an affection of the lungs .
A disease is usually deep -
seated and permanent ,
or at least prolonged ;
a disorder is often slight ,
partial ,
and temporary ;
malady has less of a technical sense than the other terms ,
and refers more especially to the suffering endured .
In a figurative sense we speak of a disease mind ,
of disordered faculties ,
and of mental maladies .
