Is there any mention of it in the DSM?
That's because it's not really a concept in English... Quirks of language and culture mixed with medical theory etc... Nope, it's not in the DSM. I don't know if it's the same concept OP is talking about but it sounded like it and I just wanted to point out that psychiatry is different depending on where you live, and they use different concepts too (but these two are similar though).
