One of the most provocative pseudomedical terms I've seen I found somewhere on the internet... It was a satirical look at euphemisms that coined a few of its own. The one I have in mind is:
disasterbation (n) The compulsive tendency to examine a situation and come to expect the worst, most painful, most destructive outcome. Paranoia plus cynicism.
