Salam alaikum Hebat. If you take the meaning "grafted" for "innesto", does it seem clearer? - one condition "grafted" onto another.

disagree Mihaela Petrican: not in this context: it is about psychiatric disorders, none of which could be "inoculated"

neutral Joseph Tein: Of the six definitions for 'innesto' given in the Corriere dictionary link you provided, the ones relating to 'connection', 'coupling', and 'grafting' are the ones that apply in this case.

agree Mihaela Petrican: if the original term was "sovrapposto", it definitely makes sense. Ciao, Doc :)

  -> ciao Mihaela :-)

agree Joseph Tein: I like 'superimposed' - it fits the context. And I think that we can do away with 'disturbance' in the translation. It really doesn't add anything essential to 'chronic schizophrenia'
