hwa-byung  

Définition(s)

  • Hwa-byung (from hwa, meaning fire, and byung, meaning disease) is a Korean folk illness precipitated by a situation that is beyond the power of one's control. Literally, the term means “an illness of fire.” It is categorized as a Korean culture-bound syndrome and translates to anger syndrome in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, because its recurrent and specific symptom patterns and pathogenesis do not correspond to a particular diagnostic mental disorder category. [Source: Encyclopedia of Multicultural Psychology; Culture-Bound Syndromes: Hwa-Byung]
