read that schizophrenia is a cultural disease, where in the West we understand it as dangerous voices of crazy people, so when people get then they fit in the expectation and have dangerous voices. while in other places they show up as helpful voices, think I read of a case when the voice told the woman that hearing voices is strange and go talk to a doctor, then said goodbye when she began her meds and never heard that voice again.

The examples listed are wayyy more obscure than schizophrenia also this hot take
Some researchers have suggested that both premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder(PMDD), which have currently unknown physical mechanisms,[27][28] are Western culture-bound syndromes.[29][30] However, this is controversial.[29][31]
In the middle of a bunch of ultra niche examples
