Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to describe groups of symptoms that tend to cluster together in specific cultures is cultural syndromes. Cultural disorders and cultural explanations are not terms used in the DSM-5. Idioms of distress refer to culturally specific ways that individuals communicate their suffering or distress, but are not limited to specific sets of symptoms.
