This cultural aspect of an individual contributes to differing viewpoints on mental health, mental illnesses, and patterns of health care utilization. Mental disorders are present worldwide. However, cultural diversity conceptualizes how mental health is perceived and how mental illnesses are defined. Insights from psychological anthropology assist in recognizing how cognition, emotions, and motivation shape a sociocultural setting, directly impacting the perception of mental health and illness-related factors such as how symptoms are expressed, stigmatization, coping mechanisms, kinship support systems, and the willingness to seek treatment. Consequently, mental health is full of theoretical and practical challenges which limit diagnosis and treatment across cultures. This thesis evaluates cross-cultural perspectives that focus on alternatives and varying explanations regarding the effects of culture on mental health and mental illness. An in-depth look at the influential factors of culture on mental illness and the corresponding research is presented in the light of existing literature. Modern approaches regarding the relationship between patients and health professionals involve a collaborative treatment for the best outcomes, bringing about a distinction between universalism and particularism in psychology. Although the idea of western psychology regarding mental illness and mental health has great merit, it has created unproven assumptions that may not always be applied globally. Moreover, there are numerous challenges in identifying a specific disorder amongst various cultural groups. The culmination of this thesis aims to draw attention to the significant role cultural fluency plays when considering mental health and approaches clinicians can employ to identify, diagnose, and treat mental illnesses in individuals from various cultural backgrounds.Item Dear Evan Hansen, I Hate You(ORANGE Magazine, 2021-10-20) Passinisi, AlexItem Financing Community Care for the Chronically Mentally Ill in Texas, PRP 89(LBJ School of Public Affairs, 1990) Warner, David C.; Harris, L.

For mental health, problems with video games can lead to an exacerbating effect on psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. This thesis gathers sources from across psychology and communication disciplines to determine the effects of video games on the mental health of adolescents and college students. This literature review finds that the effects of video games on the mental health of adolescents and college students are complex. I examined and compared the results of various studies over the last 20 years and offer conclusions and propose solutions to these issues. Using the existing literature, I show that playing video games obsessively can be an issue. However, in the absence of addiction, video games can be used to treat symptoms or aid therapists for mental health issues as they relate to psychiatric disorders. Simply playing video games will generally not affect college students or adolescents negatively. When paired with addiction or obsession, however, video games are correlated with the development of psychiatric disorders. But addiction and obsession are not defined by the amount of time that video games are played. In the case of depression, playing video games through an addiction or obsessively can worsen symptoms or correlate with their development. Some studies show anxiety can be correlated to video game addiction, and others show the opposite result. There is little research in this field of study, and as such, more studies and experiments should investigate this phenomenon. Specifically, research should be done to determine if video game addiction, usage, and psychiatric disorders are correlated and whether video games can be used by health professionals to combat these disorders.Item The LIBERATOR Archive, March 2019(University of Texas at Austin, 2019-03) University of Texas at AustinItem The LIBERATOR Archive, October 2018(University of Texas at Austin, 2018-10) University of Texas at AustinItem Lives in the Shadows: Some of the Costs and Consequences of a "Non-System" of Care(Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, 1991) Diamond, Pamela M.; Schnee, Steven B.Item Managing Mental Illness in the Workplace: A Practical Guide for Supervisors(Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, 2000) Handrich, Rita R.Item The Opening Door: A Report on Texas State Hospitals(Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, 1958) Hogg Foundation for Mental Health; Kruger Smith, Bert; Lynn, BruceItem Praxis, Volume 13, No. 01: Dis/Ability in the Writing Center(2015) Spitzer-Hanks, Thomas; Garner, James; Rollins, Anna; Ries, Stephanie; Hughes, Hailey; Rinaldi, Kerri; Elston, Melissa; Daniels, Sharifa; Babcock, Rebecca Day; Daniels, Doria; Degner, Hillary; Wojciehowski, Kylie; Giroux, ChristopherItem Sedimentary(2021-03) Green, LivianItem Severely Emotionally Disturbed Youth in Texas: Financing and Coordinating Services, PRP 91(LBJ School of Public Affairs, 1991) Warner, David C.; Wong, Pat; Ellmer, Rosemary; Hicks, Regenia; Kier, Scott; Rodriguez, Reymundo; Whittaker-Kroll, Glenda
