"("sleeping blood") This syndrome is found among Portuguese Cape Verde Islanders (and immigrants from there to the United States) and includes pain, numbness, tremor, paralysis, convulsions, stoke, blindness, heart attack, infection, and miscarriage." [1] "That list of symptoms would not involve a mental event. It is not clear how this syndrome should be evaluated. Many sites list these as "idioms of distress." They are local names for disease but many unrelated problems are included. Some of the symptoms are found in the physio-kundalini complex surrounding the Awakening of Kundalini."

All definitions found seem to be some variant of what is found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
