The naming choices are confusing but Malnutrition IS an ailment separate and distinct to Malnourished, the stage of the saturation bar. Its caused by having low saturation, but its not hard linked. Once you have malnutrition, having a full sat bar doesn't immediately fix it. having 0 saturation (Malnourished) and has its own set of effects, one of which is causing Malnutrition severity to tick up, which in turn has its own effects.

As for "not something that needs "doctor" treatment", requiring doctor intervention is not a requirement. Hypothermia doesn't need treatment, neither does cryptosleep sickness, or brain shock or a bunch of other things.
