The biopsychosocial approach has been well accepted and considered while formulating the risk factors and treatment strategy for mental disorders. It indicates the importance of social structure and social influence on mental health, psychiatric disorders, and treatment. The social determinants of mental health including social networks, culture, norms, socio-economic conditions, and healthcare systems in South Asia vary remarkably from the West. Also, societal changes under Western influence are noticeable in several sections leading to a change in the way people cope with adversities. Additionally, the political and economic instability in several countries poses additional challenges to mental health. The impact of social structure in South Asia on psychiatric disorders and vice-versa has not been adequately addressed yet, so this book seeks to address that. The book also takes a look at various new, state-run, social initiatives to advance mental health and manage mental illnesses. 410 0$aSouth Asian Perspectives in Mental Health and Psychology,$x3059-3522 606 $aPsychology 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aMental health 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aSocial Psychology 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aMental Health 606 $aPsiquiatria social$2thub 606 $aSalut mental$2thub 606 $aPsicologia social$2thub 607 $aÀsia del Sud$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aPsychiatry. 615 0$aMental health. 615 14$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Psychology. 615 24$aPsychiatry. 615 24$aMental Health. 615 7$aPsiquiatria social 615 7$aSalut mental 615 7$aPsicologia social 676 $a150 700 $aArafat$b S.
