Abstract

The onset of psychological disorders (anxiety& depression) is influenced by cultural underpinnings in addition to individual and situational factors. When someone is healing from a big traumatic incident, cultural beliefs and practices, norms, familial origins, and social roles all play a key part in psychosocial regulation.
