Open access

Abstract

This article reviews typical anxiety presentations in Asia, and among Asian refugees. In Asia, there are multiple functional somatic syndromes that are common anxiety presentations. These distress syndromes often produce catastrophic cognitions about anxiety‐type somatic and psychological symptoms. These functional somatic syndromes should be understood, and specifically assessed and addressed, in order to optimize the evaluation and treatment of anxiety disorders among Asian individuals.

  • This is supported by evidence that some patients are unable to describe cognitive content of their worries and that cross-cultural application of DSM-5 requirement may miss cases.

    “This is supported by evidence that some patients are unable to describe the cognitive content of their worries 53 and that cross-cultural application of the DSM-5 requirement may miss cases 54,55 .”

    The Introduction says clinicians must recognize culturally specific distress syndromes to identify anxiety complaints among Asian populations, supporting the general concern that cases could be missed. The paper discusses DSM-IV, however; it does not assess whether applying a DSM-5 requirement across cultures misses cases. The separate claim about patients being unable to describe their worries is attached to citation 53, not this source. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
