visszaesni

Visszaesni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to relapse" or "to fall back" in English. It generally describes a return to a previous, often undesirable, state or condition after a period of improvement or progress. This can apply to various contexts, including health, behavior, or even societal trends.

In a medical context, visszaesni refers to the reappearance of symptoms or the worsening of a condition after a period of remission or recovery. For example, someone recovering from an illness might visszaesni if their symptoms return. Similarly, in addiction recovery, it signifies a return to substance use after a period of abstinence.

Beyond health, the term can also be used metaphorically. A person might visszaesni to old habits, meaning they revert to previous, perhaps negative, behaviors they had managed to overcome. Societally, a country or community might visszaesni in terms of development or progress if they experience a setback after achieving certain advancements. The core meaning is always a regression from a better or more advanced state to a former one.
