Transmigration of souls is one of the central beliefs of the Druze religion and culture. However, in rare cases this belief can represent psychopathology. A case of an 18-year-old Druze soldier suffering from generalized anxiety disorder whose presenting symptom was a belief in transmigration of souls is described. This case illustrates the interaction between cultural and religious beliefs with psychopathology.
