Culturally interpreted symptoms or culture-bound syndromes: a cross-cultural review of nerves.

Abstract

This paper explores a new approach to culture-specific mental disorders through cross-cultural examination of nerves. A number of case studies are presented from contrasting cultures. It is proposed that nerves be considered a culturally interpreted symptom rather than being culture-bound.
