Medically speaking, I haven't actually heard about such syndrome. It seems to describe a sort of sadness that has been embedded in a person since the early days of his/her life while growing up in a certain place which is felt and reminisced continuously by the affected person.
I heard such term as described by an actor Brad Pitt who feels being afflicted by such unusual malady - he called as "congenital sadness".
The "congenital sadness" of the region per his description says: "It's something that I feel in my grandparents, in the people I've met, in a Southern way of life," it's something pervasive, an undercurrent..."

Maybe it is something human that occurs when ever people around the globe think for two seconds as they watch the news or listen to the News on the radio. It makes them realise where they live and how futile the existance one life is in the midst of a sea of chaos and distruction. Maybe Congenital Sadness is reality? Let's check the DSM IV first before we jump to any conclusions. Could find it in there so I guess I am sticking with my first definition.

Idiopathic melancholia is a psychiatric condition where an individual is sad without any reason.
