risk-averse, mental illness?
I saw a link to an article which mentioned a scientific name for a person who is incredibily risk-averse. It was "something something syndrome" and I'm having tons of trouble finding it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please enlighten me, thank you.

Re: risk-averse, mental illness?
I don't know if this is what you were looking for--- but when emotions cause a person to avoid risks even when potential benefits outweigh the losses, it is called "myopic loss aversion".
