Definición

  • Brain fag syndrome (BFS), first identified by Raymond Prince in 1960, is described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, as a culture-bound syndrome that is endemic to West Africa. It is an anxiety disorder in which somatic symptoms, primarily involving heat or crawling sensations in the head, are caused by excessive intellectual effort.
