HI,
The New York Times has two recent articles about mental illness. The first one is short -- about discussions going on among psychiatrists as they revise the DSM. The second is longer and about how the West has spread its version of mental illness around the world.

A shot - naming an illness invites a more extreme reaction?
Like - a bleeding mole will be lovingly, gently bandaged up until it is called a melanoma and then it is cancer. So agressive treatment is justified and excused, Mental illness related to a cause can elicit sympathy - poor A, she went into such a depression when her mother died - as oppossed to - A has clinical depression. People tend to find a named illness justifies aggressive treatment and a 'has to put up with it' attitude, ok sometimes with the underlying sentiment of 'poor thing!' - but still. Can't say I agree all the way, but its a thought often valid.

Hi,
I've seen these studies discussed before. According to the WHO, patients with schizophrenia in India have better outcomes than patients in the West have: http://psychservices.psychiatryonlin...ull/57/1/143-a Better Outcomes for Schizophrenia in Non-Western Countries Quote:
