:''For the 1970s rock band ''Piblokto!'', see Pete Brown & Piblokto!.''
Piblokto, also known as pibloktoq and Arctic hysteria, is a condition most commonly appearing in Inughuit societies living within the Arctic Circle. Piblokto is a culture-specific hysterical reaction in Inuit, especially women, who may perform irrational or dangerous acts, followed by amnesia for the event. Piblokto may be linked to repression of the personality of Inuit women.〔Segen's Medical Dictionary. (2012). Farlex, Inc. (''Pibloktoq'' )〕 The condition appears most commonly in winter.〔Taylor, S., Shelor, N., & Abdelnour, M. (1972). (Nutritional ecology: a new perspective ).〕 It is considered to be a form of a culture-bound syndrome, although more recent studies (see ''Skepticism'' section) question whether it exists at all. Piblokto is also part of the glossary of cultural bound syndromes found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).〔Mezzich, Juan E. (2002). "International Surveys on the Use of ICD-10 and Related Diagnostic Systems" (guest editorial, abstract). Psychopathology. doi:10.1159/000065122. PMID 12145487.〕
==History==
Piblokto was first documented in 1892 and appears to be common to all Arctic regions. Explorers were the first to notice piblokto. Among these, Admiral Robert E. Peary provided a detailed look into the disorder during an expedition to Greenland. The acts Peary and his men witnessed among the Inuit women provided entertainment, and, having sent the women's male counterparts out on missions, Peary's men reaped the sexual benefits of being the only males present.〔Wallace, Anthony F.C. and Robert E. Ackerman. (Anthropologica, 1960). Pibloktoq-An Interdisciplinary Approach to Mental Disorder among the Polar Eskimos of Northwest Greenland.Vol. II(2):249-260〕 Piblokto is not limited to the indigenous people; reports of stranded sailors during the 1800s exhibiting the same symptoms have been found. The disorder is said to have existed before Western contact and still occurs today.〔Lister,J. (TWO PERSPECTIVES ON THE ETIOLOGY OF PIBLOKTOQ ).
