Culture-bound syndrome, which is a umbrella term for various kind of syndromes that only occur under specific cultures, has been a less popular topic in recent years. However, it is very important to discuss because it will affect a wide range of people. This essay discusses the reasons that cause culture-bound syndromes, the cure to certain kinds of syndromes, and the mutual effect between the spread of culture and the generation of the culture-bound syndromes, eventually leading to the conclusion that though syndromes shown on individuals can be cured, culture-bound syndromes will only perish naturally as the culture that caused it disappears.
