Schizophrenia has cultural outcomes

2024-10-10 19:20:24.733219+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Hallucinatory 'voices' shaped by local culture, Stanford anthropologist says

Anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann found that voice-hearing experiences of people with serious psychotic disorders are shaped by local culture – in the U.S., the voices are harsh and threatening; in Africa and India, they are more benign and playful.

Via Adrianna Tan @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io, who talks about this in the context of finding therapists who are culturally attuned.
