Syndrome, in medical science and psychology, is a collection of several clinical features, signs, symptom, phenomena, or characters that often appear together. This collection can persuade doctors to make the diagnosis.

The term syndrome can be used only to describe various characters and symptoms, not diagnoses. However, sometimes, some syndromes become the name of the disease, such as Down Syndrome or Crouzon Syndrome

The word syndrome comes from the Greek word for "running together", as it does with the set of signs. This term is often used to refer to a collection of clinical signs that are still unknown. Many syndroms are named according to the physician who is considered to find the signs first. It can also be taken from the location name, history, and others.
