Abstract
Dhat syndrome is a culture-bound syndrome that has been reported among males in South Asian countries who are generally young, single or recently married, and this condition is known to be associated with prominent anxiety and depressive symptoms. We present an older male who presented with symptoms suggestive of Dhat syndrome with associated significant depressive symptomatology.
