Constructing Mental Illness: Comparing Discourses on Mental Health, Illness, and Depression by Muslim Leaders with those found in Consumer Health Materials

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to investigate the information landscape regarding mental health, mental illness, and depression as Muslim immigrants in a midsize Ontario city might encounter it. This was intended as a microstudy exploratory project using a constructionist qualitative approach. A discourse analysis was conducted on a small sample of collected 'texts' (pamphlets and transcripts of interviews with Muslim religious leaders). The pamphlet content reflects a primarily medicalized construction of m… Show more

“…In this research, we respected participants' anonymity and provided an exhibit with prayer and dinner so that the ones who wanted to connect with others and speak publicly could do so. Such an approach facilitated participants' inclusion and comfort, which aligns with other researchers' suggestions (Alhomaizi et al 2018;Tanhan and Francisco 2019;Tobah 2018).…”
