Cultural Concepts of Distress

Part 3? Kind of. This episode is not about idioms but is from a question we received about "culture-bound syndromes" based on the idiom running amok from our Spilling the Beans episode. You don't need to have listened to parts 1 and 2 to understand this episode. It's all about how the term "culture-bound syndrome" was born and died in a flash. We take a look at what some of these syndromes were/are and what the APA is doing to fix their mistakes. From koro to bouffée délirante, join us in learning what binds us together in mental health awareness.
