Generic Leukeran (Chlorambucil 2mg)
MENTAL HEALTH OF THE ETHNIC MINORITIES
Generally migrants appear to have higher rates for mental illness than the indigenous population. However, some ethnic minority groups are much more prone to particular types of mental illness, while others have very low overall rates. Cochrane (1983) argues that one would expect some differences because migrant cultures often diverge widely from that of the indigenous population: 'By definition, culture is one of the largest determinants of all behaviour, normal as well as abnormal, therefore, to the extent that we find different cultural patterns of normal behaviour, we should expect to find culturally determined differences in abnormal behaviour'.
His point is that abnormal behaviour, like normal behaviour, is defined in terms of the norms and values of a particular culture. What is seen as normal in one culture may be seen as abnormal in another. Norms and values derive family- Ethnic minority groups who perform to their 'own' norms and values may be subject to various kinds of sanctions when it is decreed that the minority culture clashes with that of the adopted country.
So ethnic minorities wishing to be fully assimilated, quite apart from problems of stereotyping and racism, might come under pressure to alter fundamentally their cultural behaviour. This can be very difficult. First, they may strongly resist giving up beliefs and habits which are deepseated and which have important meanings for them. Second, it may be very difficult for them to establish what is normal behaviour in their new society. Very subtle differences often exist between what is acceptable and what is not. Thus, while it may be acceptable for younger heterosexuals to indulge in mouth-to-mouth kissing in public, this would cause much more comment if the couple were elderly, and would rarely be tolerated if the couple were homosexual. Some ethnic groups would see all such behaviour as taboo in public, and some would define it as odd at any time. Learning the rules of the new culture takes time and it is easy to make mistakes. But mistakes can be made in both directions, and mental illhealth is an area which has highlighted the ethnocentricity of both professional psychiatric diagnoses and lay reactions to the behaviour of people from ethnic minorities. Western interpretations of non-Western group behaviour have frequently concluded that these behaviours are often, if not indicative of mental illhealth, at best 'odd', and certainly lack the sophistication of Western behaviour.
