Hwabyeong
''Hwabyeong'' or ''Hwabyung'' is a Korean〔(2013). Hwa-Byung. Retrieved April 12, 2013 from Springer ()culture-bound〕 somatization disorder, a mental illness which arises when people are unable to confront their anger as a result of conditions, which they perceive to be unfair.〔Rhi, B. Y. (2004). Hwabyung-An overview. Psychiatry Invest, 1, 21-24. Retrieved July, 15th 2013 from Google Scholar〕
Hwabyung is loosely used as the name of the disease, as it is actually more of a name regarding the cause. Hwabyung is known as a culture-bound syndrome. The word hwabyung is composed of "hwa" meaning "fire", "angry", and "byung" meaning "syndrome" or "illness".〔Min, Sung Kil. (2009, January). Hwabyung in Korea: Culture and Dynamic Analysis. Retrieved July 19, 2013 from World Cultural Psychiatry Research Review.()〕 In South Korea, it is also called ''ulhwabyeong'' (), "depression anger illness". In a survey, 4.1% of the general population in a rural area in Korea were reported as having hwabyung.〔 Another survey shows that about 35% of Korean employees begin to suffer from this disease at some point.〔(韓国の会社員が最もむかつく瞬間は？ ) 中央日報日本語版 2013年4月2日〕
==Causes==
This syndrome is brought on by the suppression and eventual build up of anger within one's body. Hwabyung is believed to be caused by a build-up of unresolved anger which disturbs the balance of the five bodily elements. If feelings are suppressed for long periods of time, psychosomatic symptoms develop. The triggering cause is external events, particularly intra-familiar stressors, such as spousal infidelity and conflict with in-laws. Because of the cultural emphasis on familial harmony and peace, expressing anger is not acceptable. Therefore, the anger is suppressed and builds on itself over time. The suppressed anger, which turns into hate and despair, is known as han, or "everlasting woe". Once it reaches a pinnacle, it will then manifest into several physical/mental signs such as panic, fatigue, and insomnia among others. Each experience, however similar, is different from others experiencing this illness.
It most often occurs in middle-aged, menopausal women with relatively low socio-economic status. The individuals typically live in traditional families, which stress the value of males while devaluing women. In these families, a woman's virtue is to quietly bear misfortune and unhappiness while maintaining harmony.
