 en Cultural Construction of Psychiatric Illness in Malaysia
Ab Razak, Asrenee

Abstract

  The concept of the cultural construction of illness is important in terms of understanding people's behaviour. In this article, this idea is applied to psychiatric illness in Malaysia to explore how it is informed by sociocultural elements, a process that will help us understand the psychiatric expression and help-seeking behaviour of the country's population.
