The term "Pathological Dharma" was actually coined by Claude - it is not a defined term so far.  

Perplexity gives me this definition: 

""Pathological dharma" is not a standard term in classical Buddhist or Ayurvedic literature, but it can be understood by examining the meanings of its components:

• Pathological refers to something that is diseased, abnormal, or deviating from a healthy or balanced state, whether in a physical, mental, or spiritual context

• Dharma in Eastern traditions, especially in Buddhism and Ayurveda, refers to the natural law, duty, or the intended path and responsibilities of an individual

When combined, "pathological dharma" would refer to a distortion, dysfunction, or unhealthy manifestation of one's spiritual path, duties"

Here, it is not meant negatively as "deviation from the path".  It is just a catchy term for reflecting about dementia and Eastern spirituality.
