Difference between disease and disorder

Introduction 

In our Universe every species that lives on Earth has some problems or discomfort with its body known as disease. In simple words we can say that when our body is not in comfort or ease then it is termed as disease. In humans, we may categorise them into two categories: acute and chronic disease. Acute and chronic diseases are different in many perspectives. Acute diseases are sudden and can be recovered in a short period of time, while chronic diseases develop gradually and remain for a prolonged period, even for a lifetime.
