ecbrenner commented on the word cormorbidity
"In medicine, comorbidity (literally "additional morbidity") is either:
--The presence of one or more disorders (or diseases) in addition to a primary disease or disorder; or
--The effect of such additional disorders or diseases.
The term dual diagnosis is often applied to the comorbid existence of both a mental disorder and a developmental disability." --Wikipedia
