Certain cultural syndromes seem to increase the risk of panic attacks by generating catastrophic cognitions about symptoms of autonomic arousal. These schemas create a constant anxious scanning of the body, hence facilitating, maintaining, and producing panic. As a case in point, a Khmer fainting syndrome,'wind overload' (kyol goeu), results in dire expectations concerning the autonomic symptoms experienced upon standing, thus contributing to the high rate of orthostatically induced panic observed in this population.
某些文化综合征似乎会通过产生关于自主神经觉醒症状的灾难性认知来增加惊恐发作的风险。这些模式会导致对身体进行持续的焦虑扫描,从而促成、维持并引发惊恐。例如,高棉人的昏厥综合征“风过载”(kyol goeu)会导致对站立时出现的自主神经症状产生可怕的预期,进而导致该人群中直立性诱发惊恐的发生率较高。
