3 quotes from Crazy Like Us

"The way we think about mental illness is shaped by our culture, and when that culture shifts, so do our perceptions and experiences of mental health."
"By understanding that our mental health issues are deeply embedded in cultural context, we can begin to appreciate the variability in how people experience and express suffering around the world."
"The phenomenon of culture-bound syndromes reveals that what we call 'mental illness' is not universally defined; it evolves with the social and cultural landscape."
