Post-Partum Psychosis: Cultural Issue and Therapeutic Barriers and Regional Therapists

Abstract

Catatonia is a state that a person who is awake does not respond to any external stimuli. The term cultural bound syndrome refers to anyone who has recurrences, locality-specific patterns of aberrant behavior and experiences that appear to fall outside conventional Western psychiatric diagnostic categories. In this case we are presenting a young woman who had given birth, and it was followed by an acute and extreme stressor. She suffered from severe anxiety and the symptoms of catatonia.
