Emotional Distress: Sociocultural Understanding and Management of Nonpsychotic Disorders in India addresses the most common reason people seek mental health care — and the one whose understanding requires much more than diagnostic knowledge. Culture, family, social values, beliefs and changing lifestyles all shape how distress is experienced, expressed and managed, and this book, published with the Indian Psychiatric Society, examines those influences from an Indian perspective.
Across 12 chapters, experts from different areas of psychiatry and mental health discuss personality development, social and cultural influences, common clinical presentations and culturally relevant therapeutic approaches. The emphasis throughout is on understanding the person in the context of their family, community and society, connecting medical knowledge to real Indian cultural life.
