Abstract

In different cultures depressions are masked by different acting-out behaviors; they vary as to type and frequency and are colored by local customs and social determinants. In Western societies hypochondriasis and psychosomatic disorders are the more common masking processes. The broad spectrum of acting-out behavioral patterns pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
