Kufungisisa is a culture bound syndrome prevalent in Zimbabwe similar to anxiety disorders and depression.[1]
Among the Shona, who make up a large part of Zimbabwe's population, kufungisisa is characterized by thinking too much or overthinking a situation. There is a widespread belief that such behavior not only contributes to mental illnesses, but also causes physical discomfort.[2]
Kufungisisa is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).[1]
