cultural syndrome

Explanation:

A cultural syndrome, or culture-bound syndrome, is a combination of symptoms that is considered a disease only within a particular society or culture. Not only is a disease of this type not recognized in other cultures, but it also generally does not have an objective biochemical process that can serve as evidence of its existence. Therefore, these may or may not be linked to a particular DSM-5 diagnostic category.
