“…Covariates. Consistent with previous research (Guarnaccia et al, 1989(Guarnaccia et al, , 2010Guarnaccia, Rubio-Stipec & Bravo, 1993;Lewis-Ferna´ndez et al, 2002b, 2005 that identified variables significantly associated with ataque de nervios, the covariates measured in this study include self-reported age, sex, education, marital status, and perceived adequacy of income. Age was analyzed categorically (21-34, 35-54, 55 years).…”

“…Some studies have found considerable overlap between ataque de nervios and panic attacks, while other studies have found that only a small proportion of patients with ataque de nervios meets criteria for panic disorder (Hinton, Lewis-Ferna´ndez &. Pollack, 2009;Lewis-Ferna´ndez et al, 2002b;Vazquez et al, 2017). Additional studies with Latinos/as have found that ataque de nervios often coexists with depressive, panic, and anxiety symptoms (Lewis-Ferna´ndez et al, 2002b;Hinton, Chong, Pollack, Barlow, & McNally, 2008;Lewis-Ferna´ndez & L opez, 2016;Lewis-Ferna´ndez et al, 2002;Vazquez et al, 2017).…”

However, ataque de nervios is distinct from these other manifestations of emotional distress; for example, compared to panic attacks, individuals who experience ataque de nervios report more dissociative symptoms, sensations of heat rising into the chest and head, a slower crescendo into a full-blown attack, and fewer unprovoked episodes (Guarnaccia et al, 2002;Keough et al, 2009).…”

Ataque de nervios is a Latina/o idiom of distress that may occur as a culturally sanctioned response to acute stressful experiences, particularly relating to grief, threat, family conflict, and a breakdown in social networks. The contextual factors associated with ataque de nervios have received little attention in research. This study examined the association between neighborhood factors and the experience of ataque de nervios among a sample of Latinas/os participating in the Latino Health and Well-Being Project in the northeastern United States. We examined the association between neighborhood cohesion, safety, trust, and violence and ataque de nervios. In multivariate logistic regression models, neighborhood violence was associated with ataque de nervios ( p = .02), with each unit increase in the neighborhood violence scale being associated with 1.36 times greater odds of experiencing ataque de nervios. None of the other neighborhood variables were significantly associated with ataque de nervios. The positive association between neighborhood violence and the experience of ataque de nervios makes a further case for policy efforts and other investments to reduce neighborhood violence.

“…In cases where exploratory work uncovers items that appear to be potential disease entities in the research context, a fourth direction for further research would be to evaluate those items as potential cultural syndromes—that is, to determine whether those items represent clusters of symptoms that are recognized, in a particular context, as discrete entities with their own names, treatments, and natural histories (Lewis-Fernández & Kirmayer, 2019; Nichter, 2010). Classic work in cultural syndromes (once called “culture-bound syndromes”) includes amok in Indonesia (Yap, 1969) and ataques de nervios in Puerto Rico (Guarnaccia, 1993), among many others.…”

Research premised on the construct of idioms of distress has proliferated in the last 40 years. The aim of this work is to foreground the experiential and socially adaptive functions of cultural expressions of distress around the world. Researchers who work in this field often begin from very different starting points in terms of their prior knowledge of the research context, their interest in theoretical or applied implications of their work, and the target areas of distress that they study. While this multiplicity of approaches ensures that the literature captures diverse manifestations of suffering, it also creates confusion for those who are new to the field and who may not know where to begin. This article seeks to resolve some of that confusion by identifying common conceptual challenges across the idioms of distress literature, and then providing a detailed step-by-step methodological example of an idioms of distress study in India that could be adapted for similar work in other contexts.

More than a century of research on culture and psychopathology has shown that culture exerts a major influence on the identification, labeling, indigenous meaning, course, and outcome of maladaptive behaviors. The major goal of this chapter is to appraise the current state of knowledge of the relationship between culture and psychopathology. More specifically, this chapter aims to identify the contribution of different conceptual and methodological approaches to investigating the relationship between culture and psychopathology; seek integration of universal and culture specific approaches to cross-cultural psychopathology; and promote the development of linkage studies in the field of cross-cultural psychopathology in the age of globalization. These aims are pursued with a focus on major psychiatric disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders that have generated a large amount of literature from both emic and etic perspectives of psychopathology across cultures.
