In earlier times and in other cultures, mental states were diagnosed with a view to &#8220;culture bound syndromes,&#8221; but modern mental health refutes this. In turn, however, cultural attitudes to mental health can grow more rigid (and unforgiving): your brain is broken (neurological disorder), vs. your spirit is (temporarily?) discombobulated. The former view exacts a harsher response than the latter, according to experiments conducted by researchers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/cloud\/lampertina\">tags<\/a>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/mental_health\">mental_health<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/cultural_norms\">cultural_norms<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/americanization\">americanization<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/nyt\">nyt<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/ethan_watters\">ethan_watters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
