What is the label for recurrent, locally specific patterns of aberrant behavior and troubling experience that may or may not be linked to a particular DSM-5 diagnostic category? These patterns are generally limited to specific societies or areas and indicate repetitive and troubling sets of experiences and observations.

Answer:

cultural syndrome

Step-by-step explanation:

A cultural syndrome, or culture-bound syndrome, is a combination of symptoms that is considered a disease only within a particular society or culture. Not only is a disease of this type not recognized in other cultures, but it also generally does not have an objective biochemical process that can serve as evidence of its existence. Therefore, these may or may not be linked to a particular DSM-5 diagnostic category.
