Amxiety is not pan cultural - it is culturally specific

 

You are anxious holed up in your New York loft, as an 'educated'

person you have read Hamlet and you deem this feeling to be a kind

of existential angst, a la Hamlet


However if you are a tribes man in say some Tribe society, you will experience your anxiety as lower back pain.


Anxiety disorders are some of the most prevalent mental disorders [

 These disorders are strongly influenced by ethnic, racial, and cultural factors, in part because of culturally dependent variations in the beliefs about the underlying physiology of the illness syndromes [] and the social context and norms a person is exposed to [].
