Depression in South Asian Women Living in the UK: A Review of the Literature with Implications for Service Provision

Abstract: Research has shown that South Asian people in the UK underutilize health services compared with White people. Also, where services are accessed, they may not adequately meet cultural and religious needs. In exploring the relationship between the cultural and religious beliefs of South Asian service users about perceptions, beliefs about aetiology, cause and treatment of mental illness, past studies have illustrated a wide range of expectations, experiences, beliefs and attitudes. This article reviews research … Show more

“…4,6,44,45 Although this may be a result of the low baseline prevalence rates of BD reported in several Asian countries, 46,47 these data on lower rates of mental illness and treatment use among ethnic groups inside or outside North America must be interpreted with caution. Several additional factors should be considered, including limitations of using DSM-IV criteria that are not specific to ethnic groups, 48 the role of cultural and religious beliefs surrounding mental health and psychiatric treatments, [49][50][51] and examining ethnic categories as homogeneous groups. 52 A more comprehensive determination of the interaction between immigrant status, ethnicity, and these other factors is needed 53 ; however, this was beyond the scope of our paper owing to limits of quantitative data, and sample size restrictions that did not allow for an accurate determination of differences in lifetime prevalence of BD within ethnic groups.…”

“…However, some ethnic groups are less likely to consult their GPs, as occurs with Africans 39 and Asians. 40 Even when people do attend their GP, detection rates for mental health problems are lower in ethnic minority groups. 41,42 The stigma attached to being labelled as having mental health problems appears to be particularly high in certain cultures, for example in India, where schizophrenia is associated with low marriage prospects and a fear of rejection by neighbours.…”

“…Il en est de même des ressources mobilisées par les répondants dans l'éventualité d'une perte de maîtrise, d'un sentiment de rupture d'équilibre. En effet, les données recueillies tendent à confirmer celles exposées par différentes études effectuées auprès de populations similaires, et ce, principalement en Angleterre (Hussain et Cochrane 2004). De nombreux auteurs ont noté l'importance du contextuel dans la construction de l'expérience de la détresse des migrants indiens tout comme dans l'adoption d'éventuels itinéraires thérapeutiques (Burr et Chapman 2004;Fenton et Sadiq-Sangster 1990).…”

“…De nombreux auteurs ont en effet remarqué les limites implicites à l'épidémiologie en santé mentale lorsque vient le temps de rendre compte de la complexité du vécu de la détresse en contexte migratoire (Dyck 2001;Fassin et Dozon 2001). Certains ont noté les biais et incapacités méthodologiques des enquêtes épidémiologiques dans leur tentative de témoigner de la détresse psychologique des immigrants indiens en Occident (Bhui et al 2004;Fenton et Sadiq-Sangster 1990;Hussain et Cochrane 2004;Williams et Hunt 1997). Il semble que les études tentant de cerner épidémiologiquement la présence de problèmes de santé mentale chez les migrants indiens posent régulièrement la culture en tant qu'entité homogène potentiellement néfaste pour l'individu (Acharya 2004 Si ces deux approches se complètent certes dans la prise en compte de la complexité (autant statistique que sémantique ou phénoménologique) propre aux phénomènes de santé ou de maladie, un tel écart ontologique dans la conceptualisation de l'objet d'étude (ici la détresse) ne facilite pas pour autant la cohabitation de ces deux approches dans une étude comme celle-ci.…”
