Culture and Society Mental Health

There are issues associated with diverse effects of culture, society and mental health. The effects are contained in the social contexts of racial and ethnic context as psychologists have studied over the year. Andrade (2017), notes that mental illness and mental health in general are affected by a combination of biological and genetic factors, psychology and society. In most cases, however, the societal factors are ignored. Culture has been studied to explain how people describe their symptom such as whether to describe emotional or physical symptoms. Some mental illnesses are also clearly defined in some cultures. In essence, culture stigma, understanding symptoms, community support, and resources are some of the aspects of mental health and psychology associated with culture and mental health. Culture stigma has more to do with how the community views the mental health and the stigma associated with it. Some communities hide some mental health because of the stigma associated with it. The culture also influence the understanding of symptoms and how the describe and feel about certain symptoms associated with mental health. Presenting mental health services might be culturally sensitive and important to increased access sensitive to mental health because of issues like stigmatization.
