OP What are the differences between Krankheit, Erkrankung, and Leiden?
"Krankheit" is by far the most general and most frequently used term, especially in the public realm. "Erkrankung" usually occurs with a specification referring to an organ/system which is malfunctioning. "Leiden" (literally "suffering") emphasizes the subjective aspect, and sounds somewhat dated.
