That's also in my psych textbook. Giving something a fancy name legitimizes it and makes people want to seek "treatment," even if the doctor says "just get off your ass."
See, if a doctor recommends you get exercise just to stay healthy, will you do it? No, you probably won't get any more exercise than when you already get. But, if the doctor were to tell you that you have fatassitis, and that you NEED to exercise in order to get better, you'll probably follow his advice.
In other news, the depression came back today for a while. But now it's gone.
