This project aims to establish conceptual foundations for studying cultural variation in mental disorders and their implications for cognitive and behavioural science. Mental disorder contributes to the burden of death and disability around the world, but modern psychiatric theories must also deal with non-Western forms of mental illness. Do non-Western individuals suffer from the same conditions as Westerners, but in a different form, or do they suffer from distinctive local conditions? This project intends to discuss the foundational issues raised within psychiatry. This will contribute to a greater understanding of the mental health of non-Western populations.

该项目旨在为研究精神障碍的文化差异及其对认知和行为科学的影响建立概念基础。精神障碍是世界各地死亡和残疾的负担之一，但现代精神病学理论也必须处理非西方形式的精神疾病。非西方人是否也遭受着与西方人相同的条件，但形式不同，或者他们遭受着独特的地方条件？这个项目旨在讨论精神病学中提出的基本问题。这将有助于更好地了解非西方人口的心理健康。
