- Title
Psychiatric diagnosis - is it universal or relative to culture?
- Authors
Canino, Glorisa; Alegría, Margarita
- Abstract
There is little consensus on the extent to which psychiatric disorders or syndromes are universal or the extent to which they differ on their core definitions and constellation of symptoms as a result of cultural or contextual factors. This controversy continues due to the lack of biological markers, imprecise measurement and the lack of a gold standard for validating most psychiatric conditions.
