Koro is largely considered to be a culture-specific psychiatric disorder occurring primarily in Southeast Asian cultures though a large number of the cases has been reported beyond the cultural boundary as well, leading to a debate concerning the culture-specific nature of the syndrome. Classically it is manifested by acute anxiety associated with the fear of genital retraction, accompanied by fear of death induced by the thought that complete disappearance of the genital organ will result in death. Majority of the cases have been witnessed in male gender. Most of the female cases are from Koro epidemic. Sporadic individual case reports of Koro in female are very few.
Case report: Giving a psychopathological and nosological definition of this peculiar syndrome has also been problematic. In this paper, we report a case of koro in a young, Indian female patient. We briefly present the etiological factors related to the development of the syndrome, the most significant psychopathological characteristics and issues related to cultural specificity of the syndrome especially in a sporadic individual case.

The concept of mind is understood in many different ways by many different traditions. Most agree that minds are constituted by conscious experience and intelligent thought. Common attributes of mind include perception, reason, imagination, memory, emotion, attention, free-will and a capacity for communication. The Original Mind is the intrinsic essence of mind, the true self. The modern era comes with Freud's topographical model of the mind comprising of three regions: the conscious system, the preconscious system, and the unconscious system. Mind is energy which is all over the body. Mind is not present at some point in the brain, but mind is all over the body. The goal of life is self realization which means an absolute silence that it cannot be disturbed by anything .It means the complete disappearance of the ego. And with the ego everything disappears. Instead of "watching the thinker," you can also create a gap in the mind stream simply by directing the focus of your attention into the 'Now'. Just become intensely conscious of the present moment. Mindlessness is the right word to explain pure space without any possibility of falling back.Keywords

Depression is a severe psychopathological disorder that is marked by a constellation of affective, cognitive and memory deficits. These deficits have been observed as being responsible for the onset, maintenance, and recurrence of depressive episodes among individuals diagnosed with depression. However, the nature and course of these cognitive and affective deficits in undiagnosed samples are relatively less explored. The present study examined the nature of autobiographical memory recall and emotion regulation in 38 (19 male and 19 female) depressed participants screened on the basis of their scores on Beck Depression Inventory-II. All the selected participants responded on self-report measure of Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Autobiographical Memory Test. The results showed that both the dimensions of emotion regulation (emotion suppression and cognitive reappraisal) correlated positively and significantly with depression. However, the emotion suppression dimension emerged as best predictor of depression. Results also showed a significant and negative correlation between depression and specificity of positive autobiographical memory recall. Overall, the findings of the present study suggest that the overgeneral autobiographical memory recall, use of inappropriate emotion regulation strategy and lack of motivation to repair negative mood are associated with depression.Keywords
