noun

autonomic nervous system disorder; dysautonomia

1. autonomic nervous system disorder; imbalance of the autonomic nerves

A label used widely in Japan for a cluster of symptoms — dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, sweating, insomnia — attributed to an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Commonly linked to stress, irregular hours, and seasonal change.

A broad, everyday diagnostic label rather than a precisely defined disease; Japanese speakers use it conversationally for run-down periods with no clear organic cause.
