I’m laughing at that ‘red room’ comment… that’s from The Simpsons, when the Flanderses buy that big house when Marge is a real estate agent, and she goes in and thinks they’ve all died because they’re lying on the floor covered in a red liquid, but really it’s just red paint from painting a room. Rod or Todd goes “red room… red room… over there” in an obvious nod to the shining. lol.

Also lol at the idiot thinking this is a racist article.

Anyway, this whole thing is shopped.

Eddgie – you’re an idiot, there isn’t a single racist thing in the article, all of the illnesses and cultural associations are well documented – you’re the only one attacking anyone racially, guessing the author’s race based on their opinions? Maybe you need a dictionary.

Alex – look up ’susto’ in Google, Wikipedia has a long article about how it is a culture bound syndrome. Look up the rest of the diseases described also, instead of just wondering – you’ll find this article is completely factual.

I’m from Mexico and as well as in Brazil, here “susto” also means quick scare, additionally i asked around and theres no such disease among the latinamerican people i know. Makes me wonder how real are the rest of the diseases described in this list.
Albeit “El Susto” sounds like a good title and and a good concept for a Robert Rodriguez film.

This is just a racist article. Mary Montserrat-Howlett should do real research about mental illnesses and their origins. I am guess Mary’s a white anglo gal with some illnesses of her own.

“redrum” is from Stephen King’s story “The Shining”. I’ve searched the net, but can’t find any reference to it before that. It didn’t become a common meme until Stanley Kubrick made his creepy movie more or less based on the book.
