I think it will be useful to public, medical students and doctors as well.
Introduction and history of mental illnesscandyvdv
Early explanations of mental illness involved possession by demons or evil spirits. People with mental illnesses were often tortured to drive out demons. By the 18th century, madness began to be seen as an illness rather than demonic possession, leading thousands to be released from torture to asylums with medical treatment. Today, the medical model and influence of psychology both contribute to understanding and treating mental disorders, which are classified according to standardized diagnostic criteria.
One in six people has a mental illness. Mental illnesses affect a person's behavior, thoughts and emotions and can be successfully treated. They are caused by imbalances in brain chemistry and can be influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
There are three main types of mental illnesses: anxiety disorders, which cause excessive worry and fear; mood disorders like bipolar disorder that involve extreme mood swings between depression and mania; and schizophrenia where a person loses touch with reality through delusions and hallucinations. While the specific symptoms vary between disorders, they often share symptoms like changes in thoughts, emotions and behaviors. With treatment including counseling and medication, those with mental illnesses can lead normal lives.

The document provides information on counselling for various topics including:
1. Counselling is defined as a process to assist clients in resolving personal problems through guidance from a trained professional. Effective counselling skills include active listening, clarification, reflection, and questioning.
2. Unwed mothers are discussed, including causes like teenage mistakes, lack of sex education, poverty, and contraceptive failure. Counselling for unwed mothers involves discussing all options and providing support like education assistance and childcare.
3. Research on voluntary HIV testing in Zimbabwe found increased testing over time. Those who tested positive reported safer sex practices while those testing negative engaged in more risky behavior. The study stresses the importance of pre- and post-test
THE role of community mental health workers\مريض التوحد
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline public health workers who are trusted within the communities they serve. They build individual and community capacity through activities like counseling, education, and advocacy. CHWs work to facilitate access to healthcare and social services, provide informal counseling and support, and advocate for local health needs. They help individuals and communities develop their abilities to access resources and make healthier lifestyle choices.
This document discusses how culture influences mental health in three main ways:
1) How clients/service users experience and describe symptoms is shaped by culture through culture-bound syndromes, meanings ascribed to illness, family factors, coping styles, treatment-seeking behaviors, and stigma.
2) Professionals are influenced by their training, communication styles, lack of resources, and potential for bias and stereotyping.
3) Mental health services themselves are structured by each society through how they organize, deliver, and pay for services, and this can perpetuate structural racism, discrimination, poverty, and marginalization.
Mental health refers to maintaining successful mental functioning including daily activities and relationships. Mental illness occurs when the brain is not working properly, disrupting thinking, emotions, behavior, or physical functioning. Major causes of mental illness include genetics, environment, and brain disorders. While mental illness can significantly impact individuals and families, many people with mental illness live productive lives with treatment. Prevention strategies include creating supportive environments, community education, early detection, and ongoing care for those diagnosed.

1) The document discusses issues of inequality, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare that disproportionately impact women. It notes that as poverty rises, so does the population in need of reproductive healthcare assistance, while public support is decreasing.
2) Income inequality is linked to poorer health outcomes, as the gap between rich and poor grows, the well-off are less willing to pay taxes to fund public services. Job status also correlates with health, with lower levels reporting more stress.
3) Women face discrimination in healthcare costs and coverage. They may be denied insurance or charged higher premiums based on gender or experiences like domestic violence. Single and minority women have less access and higher rates of poverty and uninsured.
This document provides guidelines for managing patients at risk of suicide. It recommends forming a risk assessment and care plan after evaluating the patient. The care plan should aim to prevent self-harm and improve mental health and functioning. It should include short and long-term goals agreed upon with the patient, as well as a risk management and crisis plan. Treatment options may include medication, counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. High-risk patients require 24-hour support from a crisis team and possible detention under mental health laws if they refuse help.
Dr Conor Farren's presentation the relationship between alcohol and mental health issues, including depression, in Ireland. Dr Farren is a Consultant Psychiatrist at St Patrick’s University Hospital and a Senior Clinical Lecturer at Trinity College Dublin.
This presentation was given at Alcohol Action Ireland's conference, Facing 'The Fear': Alcohol and Mental Health in Ireland, on November 20, 2013.
1. LGBTQ youth face higher risks of mental health issues like depression and suicide due to challenges with identity development and societal stigma. Family rejection and victimization can significantly increase suicide risks.
2. Mental health providers should offer affirming care to LGBTQ youth, being sensitive to their experiences of discrimination and trauma. Creating a supportive environment, asking non-judgmental questions, and providing resources can help address their needs.
3. Promoting family and social support for LGBTQ youth, in addition to developing their coping skills, can help build resiliency against mental health risks.
Stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS continues to a major factor when it comes to getting tested, learning your status and disclosing an HIV+ status. Stigma can also be a significant factor in the workplace. We aim to reduce the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS can infect or affect ANYONE. Individuals who are HIV+ can still receive hugs, handshakes, live and love in our homes, and work safely in our workplaces
The document discusses several topics related to mental health including:
1. It defines mental health as enabling harmonious living with others through balanced personality development and emotional attitudes.
2. It identifies three main characteristics of mentally healthy people: feeling comfortable with oneself, feeling right towards others through relationships, and ability to meet life's demands.
3. It lists potential causes of mental illness such as organic conditions, heredity, social/environmental factors, and substances/infections.

Mental health refers to an individual's emotional and psychological well-being and their ability to function in everyday life. Approximately 450 million people worldwide suffer from mental or behavioral disorders. The causes of mental illness are complex and involve biological, genetic, psychological, and environmental factors interacting in various ways. Some key facts about mental health in Nepal are that around 10% of Nepalis suffer from a mental illness, facilities are limited especially outside of Kathmandu, and prevention efforts should target risk factors early through universal and selective interventions.
This case presentation discusses a 50-year-old African American female patient admitted to the hospital for schizoaffective disorder, manic episode. The patient has a history of schizoaffective disorder and has been living in a nursing home. The goals of hospitalization are to decrease restlessness, irritability, worry, anxiety and increase self-control and medication compliance. Interventions include medication management with Lamictal and Invega, nursing care, social work support, and education. The presentation provides context on schizoaffective disorder, symptoms, course, and treatment goals for managing the manic episode.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in mental health and nursing, including:
1) Qualities of mental health and the DSM-IV diagnostic system with five axes.
2) Professional standards in nursing including ethics, patient's bill of rights, and legal considerations like involuntary commitment.
3) Therapeutic approaches, the stages of the therapeutic relationship, and techniques for communication and assessing anxiety levels.
4) Guidelines for dealing with upset patients, conflict management, and appropriate interventions for different anxiety levels including restraint and seclusion.
Health care disparities exist between different racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The WHO defines health disparities as differences in health outcomes that are closely linked to social and economic disadvantage. There can be up to a 33 year difference in life expectancy between racial groups. Disparities are driven by social determinants like education, income, and environment. Minority groups face greater barriers to accessing quality health care due to lack of insurance, language barriers, and provider biases. Addressing disparities requires improvements in data collection, the health workforce, and policies aimed at promoting equity.

Health inequalities refer to preventable differences in health status between different population groups. They are caused by a complex mix of social, economic, and environmental factors like income, education, employment, living conditions, and access to healthcare. People in lower socioeconomic positions face higher risks of poor health and earlier death. Reducing health inequalities is important because they are unfair, affect society as a whole, are avoidable through policy changes, and some interventions can reduce inequalities in a cost-effective manner. Several government reports over the decades, including the Black Report, Acheson Report, Wanless Report, and Marmot Report, have investigated health inequalities in the UK and made recommendations to address their social determinants and
This document provides an overview of a lecture on systems thinking and the building blocks of health systems. It introduces systems thinking and discusses the key concepts of complex adaptive systems, feedback loops, and system archetypes. It also outlines the six building blocks of health systems according to the WHO's framework: service delivery, health workforce, information, medical products and technologies, financing, and leadership and governance. The document aims to help students understand how to apply a systems thinking perspective to analyzing and strengthening health systems.
Here are the three principles of health promotion from the Ottawa Charter:
1. Enable - This principle aims to enable people to increase control over their own health and its determinants, and thereby improve health.
2. Mediate - This principle acknowledges that health promotion requires coordinated action by all concerned: by governments, by health and other social and economic sectors, by nongovernmental and voluntary organizations, by local authorities, by industry and by the media.
3. Advocate - This principle aims to advocate for health as a positive concept and fundamental human right. It requires the identification of obstacles to the adoption of healthy public policies in non-health sectors, and ways to remove them.
This presentation offers critical insight on the social determinants of health and public policy.

The document discusses dual diagnosis, which refers to the co-occurrence of mental health and substance use disorders. It notes that substance use is common among those with mental illness, with rates as high as 30-70% among those in treatment settings. Reasons for substance use among those with mental illness include self-medicating symptoms, countering medication side effects, and social factors. Integrated, holistic treatment is recommended that focuses on engagement and harm reduction rather than abstinence. Mainstreaming services within mental health systems while collaborating with addiction services is advocated.
Mental illness has been recognized for over 4,000 years. Early attempts to treat it were often cruel, such as chaining or torturing patients due to beliefs that mental illness was caused by demonic possession. In the late 1800s, some doctors experimented with methods to influence blood flow to the brain like tranquilizer chairs and spinning chairs, but these provided no lasting benefits. Through the 1900s, many mentally ill individuals were institutionalized in asylum conditions that were often deplorable. Lobotomies and electroshock therapy were introduced in the mid-20th century as treatments but often had negative effects and did not cure illness. Understanding and treatment of mental illness has significantly improved since these early attempts.
This document provides an overview of motivational interviewing (MI). It discusses key concepts in MI including developing motivation for change, the stages of change model, and strategies used in MI. The strategies focus on expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, avoiding argumentation, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy. MI is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication designed to strengthen personal motivation for change.
The document discusses stigma associated with mental illness. It notes that stigma involves negative stereotypes and attitudes that label people with mental illness as less worthy. These attitudes are perpetuated by misrepresentations in media and a lack of understanding. The document outlines various factors that contribute to stigma, including fear, economic issues, lack of treatment facilities, and cultural beliefs. It also discusses the negative impacts of self-stigma, discrimination, and social exclusion that people with mental illness often face. Interventions like social contact and education are mentioned as ways to potentially help address stigma.
This document discusses a study examining how beliefs held by caregivers influence help-seeking behavior in the treatment of mental illness in Nakuru municipality, Kenya. The study found that most caregivers believed traditional healers did not understand the causes of mental illness or have good counseling skills. They also believed traditional healers were not humane, did not have time for patients, and were too expensive. However, some caregivers still sought traditional treatment. The study recommends public education programs to provide knowledge on mental illness and demystify related beliefs. It also suggests replicating the study in other parts of Nakuru County and other Kenyan counties.

Culture can significantly influence mental health in several ways. Cultural stigma around mental illness may make it harder for those struggling to seek help. Understanding of symptoms and available resources may also be impacted by culture. Effective communication that is culturally sensitive, congruent, and transparent can help improve healthcare access and quality by accounting for these cultural influences. Mental health professionals need cultural competence to recognize these impacts and provide appropriate care.

But a humanity’s culture also influences an individual’s principles, customs and beliefs. It influences in what way you view confident concepts or behaviors, and in the event of mental health, it can influence whether or not you pursue help, what type of help you pursue and what sustenance you have nearby you. It is significant that we understand the role culture plays in mental health care so we can sustenance our loved ones and inspire treatment once it is required most. (Kapil, Rubina, 2019). There are four ways culture be able to influence mental health:

Mental Health First Aid gives individuals the expertise to recognize signs of mental health and element use contests and action stages to take to help them get treatment
2- Culture is an attractive piece of our lives, but it can similarly negatively impact our approaches in the direction of mental health. Mental disease is still stigmatized in many values.

Sociological Perspectives on
Mental Health and Illness
The document discusses the complex landscape of mental health. It explores the spectrum of mental health from optimal well-being to severe mental illness. Many factors can influence mental health, including genetics, environment, life experiences, and societal expectations. Common disorders include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. Promoting mental health awareness can help reduce stigma, encourage early intervention, and improve quality of life. Adopting self-care strategies, seeking help when needed, building resilience, and maintaining social support can promote overall mental well-being.
This document discusses mental health and mental illness. It begins by defining mental health and describing common and less common mental health problems. It then discusses the significance of mental health, noting that nearly half of people worldwide experience mental illness. The document outlines stigma associated with mental illness and describes experiences of stigma. It discusses etiology and contributing factors of mental illness, classification of mental disorders, signs and symptoms, prevention, and treatment including medication, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, hospitalization, and community support programs. It provides an overview of mental health services and programs in India.
Social Determinants of Mental Health (1).pptxsarojrimal7
This document provides an overview of a paper on the social determinants of mental health produced by the World Health Organization and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. It discusses the background, methods, findings, and key concepts around how social, economic, and environmental factors impact mental health across the lifespan. The paper takes a life course approach and finds that factors like socioeconomic status, gender, education level, employment conditions, and community support influence mental health outcomes. It provides a framework for understanding these determinants and pursuing multi-sectoral actions and policies to promote mental well-being at all stages of life.
Solution for stigma in Jordan and New York City AhmedAlshwahin
Here are some ways social media can negatively impact mental health:
- Comparison: It's easy to compare your own life to the highlight reels people post online, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy. The curated lives people portray are often not an accurate reflection of reality.
- FOMO (fear of missing out): Constantly seeing updates about what friends are doing can trigger anxiety that you're not participating or being left out of experiences.
- Cyberbullying: Social media allows bullying to follow people everywhere via hurtful comments and messages. This can damage self-esteem.
- Less face time: Overuse of social media may replace real social interaction and connection, which is important for mental well
IntroductionMental health conditions have effects regardless of .docxvrickens
Introduction
Mental health conditions have effects regardless of race, color, gender, or identity. Anyone can experience the challenges of mental illness regardless of their background. Although we are similar, your experiences and how you understand and deal with these conditions may be different. Anyone can develop a mental health problem, but African Americans sometimes experience more severe forms of mental health conditions because of limited resources and other barriers. African Americans are twenty percent more likely to have severe psychological distress than Whites are. Also, African Americans and other minority communities are more likely to have similar experiences, such as barriers from health, educational, social, and economic resources because of cultural and societal factors. These may contribute to worse mental health outcomes. More than half of the people in the United States are being recognized with a mental illness in their lifetime; however, now not everybody will acquire the assistance they need. Even though mental illness is common and might affect everyone, there is still a stigma attached. This stigma creates shame in seeking help, especially in the African American community. The understanding of mental illnesses has come a far way from where it used to be, but improvements have to make. Mental illnesses should not be viewed any differently from physical diseases. I believe the two are very similar. When the mind is ill, it is not just the brain, but it has effects on the whole body and health overall. Substance abuse, self-damage, and suicide are widespread and dangerous in people with mental illness. The stigma connected to mental illness stops people from getting the assistance they need and causes them to cover their pain. Clinically trained social workers are the nation’s largest group of mental health service providers. (Staff, 2016). This is important to social work because social workers push the conversation of mental health forward. Many social workers in the field are first responders to most mental health claims. Also, the stigma of mental illness in the african american community has to change and social workers can be the driving force of a new outlook of mental health. To navigate towards a better views on mental health it is important to understand how we got to this point. Though this text it will discuss the following, what is mental illness, historical information of mental health in the African American community, barriers to mental health in the African American community, also the perspective African Americas have on mental health.
Literature Review
WHAT IS MENTAL ILLNESS
Mental illness is a general term referring to all mental health conditions that involve changes in emotions, thinking, interaction with other people, and behavior in a person. The changes can be caused by different factors, such as genetics, daily habits, environment, biology, and life experiences (McNally, (2011).). Mental i ...
Clinical psychology is a field of psychology that specializes in diagnosing and treating mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. It involves researching and applying principles and methods to understand, predict, and alleviate maladjustment, disability, and discomfort. The biopsychosocial model views health as being influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors that interact in complex ways. Understanding these interactions helps provide more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments that consider the whole person.

Need and significance of health psychology
Health psychology is devoted to understanding psychological influences on how people stay healthy, why they become ill, and how they respond when they do get ill.
Health psychologists both study such issues and develop interventions to help people stay well or recover from illness.

1) Mental health issues are common, with 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental illness each year, yet they remain highly stigmatized.
2) The brochure is from an organization called Mentally Aware Nigeria, which aims to alleviate the stigma of mental illness through education and advocating for the rights of those suffering.
3) Mental healthcare is underdeveloped in Nigeria - there is little funding, few facilities, no comprehensive laws, and cultural beliefs that hinder treatment - highlighting the need for improved awareness, understanding, and support for those struggling with mental health issues.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

2. MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health is defined as a state of well-
being in which every individual realizes his or
her own potential, can cope with the normal
stresses of life, can work productively and
fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to
her or his community.
3. The positive dimension of mental health is
stressed in WHO's definition of health as
contained in its constitution:
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity."
4. The World Health Organization (WHO)
relates mental health to the "promotion of
well-being, the prevention of mental disorders,
and the treatment and rehabilitation of people
affected by mental disorders."
And in 2005, the WHO endorsed mental
health as a universal human right.
5. WHAT ARE MENTAL ILLNESSES?
Refer Definition.
Mental illnesses are health conditions involving
changes in thinking, emotion or behavior (or a
combination of these).
Mental illnesses are associated with distress
and/or problems functioning in social, work or
family activities.
6. CULTURE AND MENTAL HEALTH
Culture refers “to the ideas, customs, and social
behaviour of a particular people or society.”
“the way of life, especially the general customs
and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a
particular time.”
Cambridge Dictionary
7. DIFFERENT CULTURAL GROUPS AND BELIEFS?
Particular People:
Racial
Ethnic
Religious
Particular Time:
Previous Centuries
This Century
This Decade
Now
8. CULTURAL BELIEFS: AETIOLOGY OF MENTAL
ILLNESSES
What are the beliefs about the causes of Mental
Illnesses?
Demonic Possessions?
Spiritual Attack?
As a result of weak character? (Weakness, Laziness,
Greed)?
As a result of sin?
Suicide: Honour? Shame?
9. In a recent study when surveyed on their thoughts on the
causes of mental illness, over a third of Nigerian
respondents (34.3%) cited drug misuse as the main cause.
Divine wrath and the will of God were seen as the second
most prevalent reason (18.8%), followed by
witchcraft/spiritual possession (11.7%).
Very few cited genetics, family relationships or socio-
economic status as possible triggers.
10. Pathogenic effects – Culture is a direct causative
factor in forming or generating illness
Patho-selective effects – Tendency to select
culturally influenced reaction patterns that result in
psychopathology
Patho-plastic effect – Culture contributes to
modeling or shaping of symptoms
11. Patho-elaborating effects – Behavioral
reactions become exaggerated through
cultural reinforcements
Patho-facilitative effects – Cultural factors
contribute to frequent occurrence
Patho-reactive effects – Culture influences
perception and reaction.
12. CULTURAL MANIFESTATION OF ILLNESS
Delusions: Themes of delusions have been found to
be related to patients' social background, cultural
beliefs, and expectations. Religious delusions are
common in Christian societies, whereas these are
rarer in Hindu, Muslim, or Buddhist societies. Magical
religious delusions have also been found to be
greater in rural societies, especially in women >30
years of age.
13. The first large-scale cross-cultural evaluation of hallucinations
found that visual hallucinations were more common in Africa.
Another study found higher occurrence of auditory and visual
hallucinations in non-European patients than in European patients.
The International Study on Psychotic Symptoms (ISPS) showed
that auditory hallucinations were commonest in all cultures and
that visual hallucinations were the commonest in Africa and the
rarest in Pakistan. The cultural content of hallucinations also recurs
in future psychotic episodes.
14. Low rates of religious delusions, grandiose delusions,
and delusions of guilt were found in Pakistan, the
only pure Islamic country in the study.
In contrast, religious grandiosity was more common
in African countries.
The cultural content of the delusions recurs in future
episodes of psychosis.
15. CULTURAL BELIEFS: ATTITUDES TO THE MENTALLY ILL
Mental illness is a taboo subject that attracts stigma in much of
Africa.
Social stigma has meant that in much of Africa mental illness is a
hidden issue equated to a silent epidemic.
Many households with mentally ill persons hide them for fear of
discrimination and ostracism from their communities.
Girls from homes known to have mental illness are
disadvantaged due to the fact that a history of mental illness
severely reduces their marriage prospects.
16. CULTURAL BELIEFS: ATTITUDE TO TREATMENT
Presentation to the traditional healers.
Presentation to the churches and mosques
Prayer and fasting
Deliverance
Delay in presentation to mental health
professionals
17. Poor funding for health.
Funding for mental health is even worse :Most
developing countries dedicate less than 2% of
government health budgets to mental health care.
According to a study by the Grand Challenges in Global Mental
Health Initiative the biggest barrier to global mental health care is
the lack of an evidence-based set of primary prevention intervention
methods.
It may be a reflection of the cultural beliefs of the people.
18. CULTURAL BELIEFS AND THERAPY
Understanding the sociocultural beliefs of the clients
The roles of family members are very different
transculturally.
They play a more significant role in treatment in an
Nigerian setting.
Communicating with patients and families regarding
diagnosis, illness, and care is an art that needs to be
attuned to individual cultural frameworks.
19. The family remains an important resource for the support of
patients with mental health problems. You must therefore
understand the dynamics of the family.
Although most families are willing to care for their sick relatives,
severe mental disorders may deplete the resources of even the
most willing and able families.
Involvement of the family in therapy
20. Communicating with patients and families regarding diagnosis, illness,
and care is an art that needs to be attuned to individual cultural
frameworks.
In addition, the nature of expressed emotions and life events differ
between cultures.
Traditional healing practices
Motivational factors to follow traditional healing practices include
cultural faith, inadequate recovery with allopathic treatment, economic
factors, social stigma, and easy approachability
21. It is important to understand the concepts, classification, and management
of other health systems to have effective liaisons with them.
Concomitant use of traditional therapies may enhance the acceptance and
adherence of modern treatments.
Psychotherapy
Cultural values are important to determine psychotherapeutic needs and
interventions. There are cross-cultural differences in personality
configurations which have to be taken into account. The Western-model
psychotherapy in its usual form may not be suited for a diverse culture like
Nigeria
22. Some proposed modifications to suit the need of Indian patients are as
follows:
Use of religion or spirituality – Religious beliefs can be used for the
benefit of the patient if used carefully
Family involvement – Unlike in the West, many Nigerian subjects might
want active family involvement. The need for confidentiality may not be as
high
Lower emphasis on individual responsibility and autonomy – Nigerian
culture fosters dependence and dependability
23. Superior class of the therapist and paternalistic approach –
In Nigerian societies, the doctor (or therapist) is considered
superior and the patient becomes submissive. This may be
used for patients' benefit.
Greater active participation by the therapist – Unlike the
Western-style therapist, the Nigerian therapist has to be
more active and direct suggestions might be particularly
useful
Single session therapy may be useful for the poor and
underprivileged.
24. CONCLUSIONS
Cultural sensitivity and competence in assessment, and
management are as important as other aspects.
The use of cultural factors in a positive way will improve
coping with symptoms and illness, as well as recovery. It is
also important to consider other cultural, traditional, and
folk methods for understanding and management of
mental illnesses.
