Culture-Bound Syndromes in Spanish speaking Latin America: the case of Nervios, Susto and Ataques de Nervios
Archives of Clinical Psychiatry (São Paulo), 2015Co-Authors: Bruno Nogueira, Jair De Jesus Mari, Denise RazzoukAbstract:Background Cultural issues are important for diagnostic validity between different countries; little has been addressed from Latin America and Caribbean countries (LAC). Objective To identify LAC studies on Culture-Bound Syndromes (CBS) and extract potential empirical evidence about Susto,Nervios and Ataques de Nervios. Methods Search strategies were carried out in Medline, Embase, Lilacs, ISI and PsycINFO, covering 1992 to 2015. Inclusion criteria studies on CBS conducted on populations residing in LAC, LAC articles on diagnostic classification and culture, where LAC has been included. Exclusion criteria studies on Latin American migrants outside LAC. Content analysis used the system proposed by Guarnaccia and Rogler (1999): epidemiological, ethnographic and socio-demographic data and identification of comorbidities with other psychiatric disorders. Results Thirty one articles were selected out of 1.090. These CBS were selected out of 1aphic data and identification of comorbidities with other ps proposed by Guarnaccia diagnostic classification and cun panic disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder and presented more psychosocial vulnerability. Discussion Analysis showed that Nervios, Susto andAtaques de Nervios are important idioms of distress, associated with socio-economically vulnerable populations and comorbidities with other psychiatric conditions, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder. More studies are needed on their relation with stress and in more LAC countries.

A contribuição dos estudos transculturais dos países latino-americanos e caribenhos para a revisão da CID-10: resultados preliminares The contribution of Latin American and Caribbean countries on culture bound Syndromes studies for the ICD-10 revisio
Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP), 2011Co-Authors: Denise Razzouk, Bruno Nogueira, Jair De Jesus MariAbstract:OBJETIVO: Esta revisão visa identificar as evidências dos estudos de países da América Latina e do Caribe para a inclusão das síndromes transculturais na versão da Classificação Internacional de Doenças para sua 11ª Edição. MÉTODO: Os estudos foram identificados nas bases do Medline, LILACS e EMBASE, no período de 1992 a 2008, e classificados segundo o tipo de estudo, tipo de transtorno, país e número de publicações por ano. RESULTADOS: Foram selecionadas e classificadas 163 publicações: 33 no Medline, 90 no EMBASE e 40 no LILACS. A percentagem das síndromes transculturais ("culture bound-syndrome") correspondeu a 9% no Medline, 12% no EMBASE e 2,5% no LILACS. Dos 15 estudos sobre síndromes transculturais, dois eram sobre "nervios e ataque de nervios", dois sobre "susto", quatro sobre a relação entre crenças religiosas, "feitiçaria", transe e apresentação dos transtornos mentais, um sobre proposta de uma nova categoria diagnóstica, três artigos teóricos e três sobre psicopatoplastia dos transtornos mentais. CONCLUSÃO: A escassez de estudos sobre síndromes transculturais pode ter ocorrido pela dificuldade em rastrear os estudos por problema de indexação das publicações, falta de interesse em publicar tais estudos em periódicos indexados e a dificuldade de acesso às publicações. Dentre os estudos identificados, não há uma evidência clara que aponte quais modificações são necessárias nas classificações diagnósticas atuais.OBJECTIVE: This review aims to verify the scientific evidences for the inclusion of culture bound Syndromes in the International Classification of Diseases towards its 11th edition based on studies from Latin American and Caribbean countries. METHOD: Studies were identified in Medline, LILACS and EMBASE databases for the period between 1992 and 2008, and then classified according to the type of study, to the mental disorder, country and number of publications per year. RESULTS: 163 studies were selected and classified: 33 in MedlLne, 90 in EMBASE e 40 in LILACS. The percentage of culture bound-syndrome corresponded to 9% in Medline, 12% in EMBASE e 2.5% in LILACS. Among fifteen studies on cultural bound Syndromes, two were about "nervios and ataque de nervios", two about "susto", four about the relationship between religion beliefs, witchery, trance and mental disorders, one with a proposal for new diagnostic category, three about theoretic issues and three about the pathoplasty of mental disorders. CONCLUSION: The scarcity of studies on culture bound Syndromes might be due to the indexation problems hindering the screening of studies; lack of interest on publishing such studies in indexed journals (publication bias) and due to difficulty to access them. There is no robust evidence identified among cross-cultural studies to recommend changes for International Classification of Diseases-11th edition

Culture and the Trajectories of Developmental Pathology: Insights from Control and Information Theories
Acta Biotheoretica, 2018Co-Authors: Rodrick WallaceAbstract:Cognition in living entities—and their social groupings or institutional artifacts—is necessarily as complicated as their embedding environments, which, for humans, includes a particularly rich cultural milieu. The asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories permit construction of a new class of empirical ‘regression-like’ statistical models for cognitive developmental processes, their dynamics, and modes of dysfunction. Such models may, as have their simpler analogs, prove useful in the study and re-mediation of cognitive failure at and across the scales and levels of organization that constitute and drive the phenomena of life. These new models particularly focus on the roles of sociocultural environment and stress, in a large sense, as both trigger for the failure of the regulation of bio-cognition and as ‘riverbanks’ determining the channels of pathology, with implications across life-course developmental trajectories. We examine the effects of an embedding cultural milieu and its socioeconomic implementations using the ‘lenses’ of metabolic optimization, control system theory, and an extension of symmetry-breaking appropriate to information systems. A central implication is that most, if not all, human developmental disorders are fundamentally Culture-Bound Syndromes. This has deep implications for both individual treatment and public health policy.

Western Atomism and Its Culture-Bound Syndromes
Gene Expression and Its Discontents, 2016Co-Authors: Rodrick Wallace, Deborah WallaceAbstract:The stabilization of human cognition via feedback from embedding social and cultural contexts is a dynamic process deeply intertwined with it, constituting, in a sense, the riverbanks directing the flow of a stream of generalized consciousness at different scales: cultural norms and social interaction are synergistic with individual and group cognition and their disorders. A canonical failure mode in atomistic cultures is found to be a “ground state” collapse well-represented by atomistic models of economic interaction that are increasingly characterized as divorced from reality by heterodox economists. That is, high rates of psychopathic and antisocial personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder emerge as Culture-Bound Syndromes particular to Western or Westernizing societies, or to those undergoing social disintegration.

The Encyclopedia of Clinical Psychology - Culture‐Bound Syndromes
The Encyclopedia of Clinical Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Renato D. AlarcónAbstract:Culture-Bound Syndromes (CBSs) are defined as sets of symptoms and signs unique to specific regions or countries around the world. They are understood as characteristic responses to a variety of pathogenic agents and are explained in the context of beliefs, traditions, and moral or religious perspectives from their societies of origin. Over many decades, CBSs have become a subject of research and didactic interest in academic centers, leading to growing points of contact among cultural psychiatry, social sciences, and established medical and psychiatric practice. This entry includes a listing of CBSs described in different regions of the world. It enumerates their main clinical characteristics and causal (etio-pathogenic) factors; presents cultural explanations of these conditions' origin, nature, and degree and type of accompanying emotional and physical distress; and attempts to locate each nosologically. The entry closes with the new set of concepts proposed in the DSM-5, which will probably guide future research efforts in this area. Keywords: cross-cultural psychology; cultural psychiatry; diagnosis; psychology of diversity; psychology of religion and spirituality; psychopathology; acculturation; cultural diversity; psychiatry; social issues

Culture, cultural factors and psychiatric diagnosis: review and projections
World Psychiatry, 2009Co-Authors: Renato D. AlarcónAbstract:This paper aims to provide conceptual justifications for the inclusion of culture and cultural factors in psychiatric diagnosis, and logistic suggestions as to the content and use of this approach. A discussion of the scope and limitations of current diagnostic practice, criticisms from different quarters, and the role and relevance of culture in the diagnostic encounter, precede the examination of advantages and disadvantages of the approach. The cultural content of psychiatric diagnosis should include the main, well-recognized cultural variables, adequate family data, explanatory models, and strengths and weaknesses of every individual patient. The practical aspects include the acceptance of "cultural discordances" as a component of an updated definition of mental disorder, and the use of a refurbished cultural formulation. Clinical "telescoping" strategies to obtain relevant cultural data during the diagnostic interview, and areas of future research (including field trials on the cultural formulation and on "culture bound Syndromes"), are outlined.

Depression as a Culture-Bound syndrome: implications for primary care
British Journal of General Practice, 2013Co-Authors: Christopher DowrickAbstract:This month sees the publication of the fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). Headline features include new diagnostic categories of anxious depression and somatic symptom disorder, and blurring of boundaries between grief and depressive disorder. However its relevance to primary care may be less than anticipated. According to its predecessor, DSM-IV, Culture-Bound Syndromes are indigenously considered to be ‘illnesses’, limited to specific societies or culture areas, composed of localised diagnostic categories, and used to frame coherent meanings for certain repetitive, patterned, and troubling sets of experiences and observations.1 Examples commonly cited include koro in eastern Asia, latah in Malaysia, and ataque de nervios in Latin America. It can be argued that depression also fulfils the criteria for a Culture-Bound syndrome, in westernised societies. Our indigenous beliefs are based on the premise that depression is an illness of common and increasing prevalence, destined to become the second most disabling disease by 2020. These beliefs have societal and cultural limitations. They predominate in anglophone societies, although there is wide variation in their understanding and acceptance within these societies, depending on class, gender and culture.2 Depression can therefore be understood as a set of localised diagnostic categories, albeit currently operating on a larger scale than other Culture-Bound Syndromes. If depression as a diagnostic category had validity and utility, it could be seen as a universal, transcultural concept. But it …
