520			_a"In 1994, the Diagnostical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or D.S.M.-IV, recognized latah [a disorder marked by dancing, mimicking, and blurting offensive phrases] for the first time as a member of a new category of psychiatric illnesses known as culture-bound syndromes--that is, mental disorders induced primarily by culture and not by any bodily pathology. Culture-bound syndromes are not only rare and exotic; they're also controversial, for they raise intriguing questions about the very nature of mental illness. At the heart of these questions are age-old debates about the conflicting roles of nature and nurture." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) This article examines latah, a seemingly contagious syndrome, in Malaysia and questions whether or not mental illness stems from "brain disorders.".
