a useful neologism

i’ll probably be too work-busy to post anything substantial today, but couldn’t resist sharing this great neologism with the public, courtesy of a report i’m writing: confusional states. i guess it means the patient is often in a confused state but the therapists often like to invent their own words in order to sound posh (in this no different to Literary Theorists, though the therapists still aim to be generally understood, of course). It would make an excellent title for a book of short stories, or an album perhaps: Confusional States.
