Cultural Factors Related With Schizophrenia

Abstract

Cultural factors do not only interfere with epidemiology of psychiatric disorders.,Culture, as the most inclusive environmental factor, effects the etiology, phenomenology as well as treatment of psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, culture also shapes perception and conceptualization of psychiatric disorders in the community. This review aims to discuss the interactions between cultural factors and definitions of schizophrenia in different countries as well as in different time periods.

Şizofreniyle ilişkili kültürel etmenler

Öz

Kültürün etkisi psikiyatrik bozuklukların yalnızca epidemiyolojisi üzerine değildir. Belki de en kapsamlı çevresel etmen olarak kültür, psikiyatrik bozuklukların etiyolojisine, fenomenolojisine ve tedavi süreçlerine de etki eder. Dahası psikiyatrik bozuklukların kavramsallaştırılması ve toplumda nasıl algılandığı da kültür tarafından şekillendirilir. Bu gözden geçirme yazısı sağlıklı ve meşru zihinsel işleyişin de kültür tarafından belirlendiği kabulüyle, şizofreninin farklı dönemler ve farklı coğrafyalarda tanımının kültürle nasıl etkileştiğini tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır

Anahtar Kelimeler
