    body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues

    Inflammatory disorders are conditions where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation, pain, and damage. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. These disorders can affect various organs and systems, causing symptoms that range from mild to severe, and often require medical management to control inflammation and prevent long-term damage.
