How do I remember all the diseases and their features without getting overwhelmed?

Start with classification. Group diseases by system (e.g., respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine) that gives you clarity. Then break it down into cause, pathogenesis, signs/symptoms, investigations, and treatment. Make short tables or flowcharts. Don’t try to memorize everything at once. Use active recall and spaced repetition. And yes, it’s okay to forget and relearn that’s literally how med school works.
