You'd figure that most illnesses and syndromes are universal if there's a book filled with them.  The fact of the matter is that every kind of culture and country has a different diagnosis for things that they consider "abnormal".  Culture plays a huge role in telling society what is a normal behavior and what goes directly into the DSM as being something diagnosable and treatable.  This relates back to Psychology, Gender, and Sexuality in that certain ways of living are up for interpretation.  What is completely normal in one culture (i.e. being slightly depressed all the time in Russia) greatly differs from another culture (i.e. being in a good mood and happy most of the time in America).  This doesn't just apply to larger cultures in regards to countries (i.e. German culture, Italian culture, Islamic culture), but also the culture of individual people living in those countries.

Here, you'll find a list of disorders from many different countries that are culture-specific.  It not only lists the disorders and gives definitions, but also goes into the types of cultures these people live in.  Keep in mind what kind of culture these people live in and recognize that to them these disorders are very scary and very real.

Enjoy!
