Hi-wa itck

Hi-wa itck is a tradition concerning lovesickness mostly associated with the Mohave American Indians.[1] This syndrome is associated with the separation of a loved one with symptoms including insomnia, depression, loss of appetite, and possibly suicide.[2] Hi-wa itck is typically experienced by men, especially older men abandoned by their younger wives.[3] It is similar to the condition of abandonment and rejection sensitivity associated with borderline personality disorder combined with a depressive episode.[4] It is identified under culture-bound syndromes originating in Native America, which also include pibloktoq or Arctic hysteria and wacinko (Oglala Sioux).[5]
