QUESTIONS.

- Considering the processes lived during the colonial period, which were some of the differences between western and non-western societies in their understanding and treatments for mental health conditions?
- What does the Global Mental Health perspective propose to approach the study and treatment of mental health conditions?
- What does Kleinman argue about the diagnosis process in Psychiatry?
- What does Kleinman mean with the following argument: “the experience of illness (or distress) is always a culturally shaped phenomenon“?
After selecting the three questions elaborate an integrated essay based on the readings discussed in class. Develop arguments that help you to articulate the discussion among the three questions addressed in the essay. Cite at least two sources of information from the syllabus (additionally you can also include academic sources out of the syllabus).
