What this research adds
Adds a context-specific expression or sense to this dictionary; the recorded forms and source passages below define the scope of the addition.
Relación con la salud mental
Use as a phenomenological or care-context enquiry prompt. These passages do not establish a psychiatric diagnosis or treatment efficacy. Assessment focus: cultural and spiritual explanatory models. These are inquiry domains for the cited account, not diagnoses or interchangeable translations.
Safe messaging for media
- Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.
