Notability

Falling-out syndrome is not a hoax, though it may seem that way. It's an actual culture-bound syndrome or "folk illness," reported by only certain group of people (in this case, people from the southern US and the Caribbean).Bunnyboi (talk) 21:49, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give you a shot on this one; I did find it. However, I'm still not convinced this meets the notability guidelines; you're going to need more references than this. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 21:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I must agree that this may not meet notability criteria even after this much time. In its current state, this article is little more than a rewording of the topic's DSM-IV description. Doczilla _{@SUPERHEROLOGIST} 07:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems quite interesting to me! If it's in the DSM, it seems worth talking about. -- Beland (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity with physical conditions

I first encountered this term in the Army, with reference to a state of collapse due to exhaustion after running or intense marching, and is commonly used in this context in the Army, probably due to 'fall-out' being a common phrase in Army parlance, also used as a command for a formation to disperse. Prostration due to physical exhaustion is a recognizable and fairly intuitive medical assessment and thus clearly those individuals using the term in that fashion are not speaking of this falling-out syndrome. Page needs clarification with regards to differences between it and syncope, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.87.116.190 (talk) 05:09, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it definitely needs to be compared to Syncope (medicine). -- Beland (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is this really a separate thing?

Isn't this just another way of describing fainting? Surely that's not localized. We faint in Norway at least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.106.147.199 (talk) 18:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
