Stockholm effect, also known as Stockholm syndrome or known as hostage complex or hostage syndrome, is a complex in which the victim of a crime becomes emotionally attached to the perpetrator and even helps the perpetrator in turn. This emotion causes the victim to become attached to the perpetrator, dependent on the perpetrator, and even to assist the perpetrator.
Origin of Stockholm Syndrome:

On August 23, 1973, two convicted criminals, Jan Erik Olsson and Clark Olofsson, held four bank employees hostage after a failed attempt to rob one of the largest banks in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, which ended after a 130-hour standoff between the police and the criminals. However, months after the incident, the four bank employees who were held hostage still show compassion for their captors, refusing to charge them in court and even raising funds for their legal defense, showing that they do not hate them and expressing their gratitude for the care they received from them instead of harming them, and adopting a hostile attitude toward the police.

Paris syndrome is a state of mental disorder that occurs when Japanese people are working or vacationing in Paris, France.
Its main symptoms are nausea, insomnia, convulsions, unexplainable feelings of fear, low self-esteem, shame and paranoia of persecution, and even suicidal tendencies.
According to French psychologist Herve Ben-Amer, “Psychologically fragile visitors can lose their tolerance and trigger a crisis when the presentation they learn about the country does not match the facts they find.”
Some French psychiatrists say that the clinical depression of these people is caused by the inability to reconcile their romantic view of Paris with reality.
The Japanese have a long-standing love of Paris, which attracts Japanese people for its elegant demeanor, fine French food and luxury goods such as Louis Vuitton luggage. Most of the 28,000 Japanese expatriates in France live in Paris, and several million Japanese visit the city every year.
Akira Hasegawa, a Japanese tour guide who has been in France for 15 years, said, “The tourists I receive are often extraordinarily disappointed with Paris. They think Paris should be clean and Parisians should be polite and friendly. It turns out that the opposite is true …… What they expect in their minds is old France – full of people like Jean Gabin and Alain Delon.”

Some media outlets have pointed out that Parisians are not friendly enough to all those who do not speak French, and not just to the Japanese. The problem only lies in the unrealistic illusions that the Japanese have about the Western way of life. They always gather in large groups when they visit the world and rarely have contact with the locals, so when they do get up close and personal, culture shock is inevitable.

Jerusalem syndrome is a psychiatric phenomenon triggered by a visit to the city of Jerusalem and includes intense thought disturbances, delusions or other psychotic-like experiences on a number of religious themes.

The term is derived from the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle’s work Politics, Book 5, Chapter 10, and the Italian historian Livy’s History of Rome, Book 1. Aristotle writes that Periander, the Greek tyrant of Corinth, offered a plan to Thrasybulus, the tyrant of Miletus, by his action: to cut off the top of the corn. The meaning is: “We must always eradicate the most successful.” Also, Livy mentions the messenger of the Roman tyrant Lucius Tarquinius Superbus’ son Sextus delivering a message from his son to him, “I have the big picture under control, what should be the next step?” Without a word, the father went out into the garden and took a stick and swept it away, cutting the tops off the tallest poppies.
