undiagnosed
Condition not identified
Undiagnosed describes a condition or illness that hasn't been identified by a medical professional.
Someone may live with an undiagnosed disorder for years before symptoms become severe enough to prompt investigation: Many adults discover they have undiagnosed ADHD.
The term extends beyond medicine to any problem not yet formally recognized: undiagnosed issues with the foundation.
