'ailment' is an accepted and usable word in written English. You can use it to refer to any physical or mental illness, such as a cold, flu, cancer, depression, or anxiety. For example, "She was suffering from an unknown ailment, so she decided to go to the doctor for a checkup.".
Of course, I had diagnosed her with that everyday ailment "false consiousness".
Last week a kidney ailment worsened and he was admitted to Kingston Hospital, where he suffered a heart attack.
The move will be welcomed by many of the millions of patients with the ailment, which brings widespread misery and costs the country billions of pounds in sick leave, welfare bills and medical treatment.
Sometimes having a diagnosis for an ailment makes the symptoms much more palatable.
That is a high hurdle to clear, especially if the health problem is a general ailment such as heart disease.
And if they can be coaxed or cajoled into work they may sue if they feel their employer hasn't taken their ailment seriously enough.In Britain, stress has attracted the attention of the government.
This is a common ailment in the region.
Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
