Abstract
Compulsive Spitting, as a culture bound symptom has not been previously reported in the literature. Of 26 cases described, 8 were suffering from schizophrenia followed by 5 cases having mania, 4 each with depression and OCD, 3 with tic disorder and 2 with seizure disorder. More studies are warranted to study and report the culture bound symptoms in india and other countries.
