March 2015 comment

I don't know how this works so I'm just gonna type what I know. An ataque de nervios is being in shock or something like that, it isn't seen as an illness or syndrome in latin american culture, it's an event, a reaction to something dramatic like the passing of a loved one or witnessing an accident.

I find that interesting and kind of goes with the theory mentioned on the Culture-Bound Syndrome article, about things like this being often a culturally-acceptable way to express distress in ways that would be pathologized elsewhere. I'm glad you put this on the talk page though, because the way Wikipedia works "yourself" is not a source that is supposed to be used for citation in articles, but rather an independent "reliable" third party's information is supposed to be used (for example, Joss Whedon couldn't add new undisclosed information to his own biography article, but if he makes statements to a reporter who then publishes them, those could often be cited). This can get tricky, since it's not always easy to find "reliable" (by Wikipedia standards) sources for this kind of thing, but I feel it's good to have a lead on this sort of thing, a hint to what SHOULD be investigated for, because otherwise information that might need to make it into the article doesn't even come up at all. Of course, I say this and I'm still not sure how to look for this information. I assume published papers in medical or anthropological journals about such incidents would be the preferred sources, but I don't have access to those kinds of things. 97.102.79.98 (talk) 19:14, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Malicious modification made by Netto-uyoku

Netto-uyoku believe that "Hwabyeong (ja:火病, ko:화병) is Korean Culture-bound syndrome, and a lot of Korean people have a disease of Hwabyeong, so Korean people instantly go crazy by mental stress" .

But this claim is fake news, and Netto-uyoku libel Korean-Japanese (Korean residents in Japan) using the term of 火病 (en:Hwabyeong), based on their belief that mentioned above, so it must be stopped.

I deleted "Hwabyeong" of "See also", because I think those are malicious modification made by Netto-uyoko.

@NoNetouyo: That's interesting and I had a conversation about this Ataque de nervios with a Brazilian student of mine. I wondered how this could only happen to Puerto Rican women and she said she thought she's heard it mentioned in Brazil as well. The article doesn't mention it only happening to PR women, but I'm not sure then why someone started calling it "The Puerto Rican syndrome". That is odd, but things happen. Still, I think the worst thing would be a doctor telling someone "oh you're just having a nervous breakdown or ataque de nervios" when in actuality the person has a Multiple Personality Disorder, - if a person doesn't get a correct diagnosis they can't possibly receive correct medical treatment.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
