Hwabyeong or Hwapyŏng (Korean: 화병; Hanja: 火病) is a Korean somatization disorder, a mental illness which arises when people are unable to confront their anger as a result of conditions which they perceive to be unfair.[1][2] Hwabyeong is known as a Korean culture-bound syndrome.[3] Hwabyeong is a colloquial name, and it refers to the etiology of the disorder rather than its symptoms or apparent characteristics. In one survey, 4.1% of the general population in a rural area in Korea were reported as having hwabyeong.[3][4] Hwabyeong is similar to Amuk.
The word hwabyeong is composed of hwa (the Sino-Korean word 火 for "fire" which can also contextually mean "anger") and byeong (the Sino-Korean word 病 for "syndrome" or "illness").[5] It may also be called ulhwabyeong (울화병, 鬱火病), literally "depression anger illness".
