Miscarriage and mental illness → Miscarriage and mental disorders – There are two main reasons for this change. First, the title of the main article regarding this topic is "Mental disorder." Therefore, it would be consistent and clearer to use the same terminology in the title of this particular article.

Secondly, The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders, a widely accepted classification system used in the field of psychiatry, states that "the term 'disorder' is used throughout the classification, so as to avoid even greater problems inherent in the use of terms such as 'disease' and 'illness'." The ICD-10 further clarifies that "disorder is not an exact term, but it is used to imply the existence of a clinically recognizable set of symptoms or behaviour associated in most cases with distress and with interference with personal functions." – Mariâ Magdalina (talk) 14:10, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
