culture depression thirdworld Recently I had an interesting online conversation with a friend in Nepal. My friend moncler price comes from an ordinary background by Nepalese standards, nhl jerseys has never left the country, and is certainly not one of the elite. We had a discussion about stress he had a hard time grasping the whole concept of how people in rich countries suffer so much because of stress. One of a few things may be true, and I m not sure which. So some input with people of experience of this may be helpful. Either people in the Third World (or particular cultures) are much much less prone to mental health issues we have in the West, such as stress and depression, because their culture is so utterly Moncler for Womens jackets kellyfur Real fur collar grey different and because so many people are focused on just day to day survival. (In much the same way as we don t boys moncler coat get malaria or bilharzia the cultural environment is as different as the physical environment). Or health care in countries such as Nepal is at a much lower level, so people suffer the same mental health issues but they go largely untreated. Or possibly, what I suspect, being human they have many mental health problems of their own, but the cultural difference means they are manifested in a different way. I believe, for instance, that in rural Nepal, because of the civil war, many people suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. The way this is manifested may be different due to cultural differences, and also may well go untreated as physical survival takes priority over mental health care. Anyone have any experience of this? How do mental health issues differ across different countries in the developing world? posted by plep to society culture (7 answers total) 1 not developing world, but here in chile the middle class (and presumably upper class too) seem much more likely to go see psychiatrists than in the uk. my impression is it s much closer to the us style. 2 in the book i m currently reading the tangled wing konner describes one culture (bali, iirc) where showing "negative" emotion is Moncler down jackets Women with Hat purple pretty much taboo. a woman is criticised for being upset on hearing of the death of her partner, and later praised for changing behaviour and smiling and joking. the point being that the praise reflects the communal recognition that what she did was difficult. in other words, emotions tend to be universal (a central theme of the book), but how they are expressed within a culture will, of course, vary widely. further, i would have thought that stress is a very basic human response, associated with physical changes in the primitive part of the brain (related to fight/flight, etc). with that kind of definition, it would not just be universal to humans, but also to mammals and probably other moncler gerard vest aimals too (depending on just how "low level" in the brain such changes occur). so i go with your third "Or". posted by andrew cooke at 8:25 AM on June 20, 2004 This article makes the suggestion that, often, ailments treated as physical problems in a developing country may be treated as psychological cases in first world countries. Since it appears that most depression is accompanied by physical symptoms (or vice versa), it brings up interesting chicken and egg questions about the nature of somatic versus psychic pain, and where the two overlap. It may be that the discrepancy is largely a question of labeling, wherein a patient in one culture is treated for headache and stomach pain (with resultant stress/depression), while in another culture a patient with similar symptoms is treated for depression (accompanied by resultant headache and stomach pain). posted by taz at 9:56 AM on June 20, 2004 I ve no real knowledge of this area, so you ll have to excuse my ill informed ramblings. I m of the opinion that a lot of the stress pressure mental ilnesses prevalant in our modern society is caused by the following an overabundance of choice. Unattainable lifestyles, popularity beauty as popularised by our media. The latter of these is a well known subject, so I won t go into too much detail, but it s possible that poor nepalese are going to experience less of this media driven consumer orientated pressure than the rest of us. An overabundance of choice is harder for me to comment on, but (I think) more interesting. I ve only read a couple of pieces on this subject, but there seems to be a growing concensus that the more choice people are given (blue, or green, or yellow, or white, or pink or I DON T KNOW. SHUT UP.), the more it affects them mentally. Again, poverty would preclude choice, and possibly increase happiness levels. On a more useful note, there was a new scientist article on happiness (happy people are less likely to go mad) that may answer your questions. It s subscription based (free seven day trial) though (boo). There s also the possibility that our modern western society finds crazy people harder to deal with than other places. Certainly, when I was younger, the village I lived near contained dealt with many characters who (now) would be committed. posted by seanyboy at 9:57 AM on June 20, 2004 Some aspects moncler uk online store of physical lifestyle have a big impact on brain chemistry. moncler vanoise Overstress/anxiety/depression have all been linked to decreased dopamine serotonin levels. Some aspects of Western life that effect these levels are lack of sunlight, lack of exercise or activity (as well as sleep), and dietary issues such as fatty acid imbalances and excessive sugar. Also, the chemicals we eat and breathe are quite different in the West, and there is more and more research pointing toward artificial colorings and other man made chemicals having a negative impact on brain chemistry, especially in children. The fact that Nepalese may have a lifestyle that necessitates a much greater Moncler Bady quilted hooded down jacket Orange level of daily physical activity, includes far less time spent indoors, and has a diet largely devoid of petroleum based colorings weird fake fatty acids (the brain is mostly made from fatty acids, so a lack of them makes it harder for the brain to repair itself) may have an effect on their succeptibility to brain chemical imbalances. I also imagine that meditation is a more effective "mental health excercise" than watching TV, which seems to be the Western equivalent (assuming Nepalese Buddhism here)

moncler menswear Culture Discord or Harmony Was that Bob Dylan, nfl jerseys THE Bob Dylan, in a Victoria s Secret commercial? Uh huh. Was that him again in a commercial for the 2007 Cadillac Escalade? Sure was. So what s new? Cosmetic companies have long used Hollywood moncler new york s glamour queens to sell their brand of beauty and it s been a good while since advertisers began using clips of popular songs in an effort to not get lost in the media crowd. It should therefore come as no surprise that the corporate world has taken another step into the world of music. Yes, you ve probably gone to concerts with corporate moncler jackets for mens sponsorship. If you re into alt acts, you may consider it old news that some brands now have their own labels. Two of these are Mountain Dew s Green Label Sound and Red Bull Records. The latest newcomer to become even more involved in the industry: Converse. The sneaker maker is building a studio to be named Converse Rubber Tracks. A major player in this trend is Cornerstone, founded by Rob Stone and Jon Cohen in the 1990s. You can get free downloads from Green Label Sound and of course, news of all the acts. The site refers to Wavves as a "sensation" after they released two albums worth of "nave punk rock" recorded on the lead singer s laptop. The label is also wrapping up a 2010 tour with Chromeo, Theophilus London, Neon Indian, and DJ sets by Flosstradamus on the bill. boys moncler coats Admission: not free. But here s where it gets complicated. Cornerstone is in charge of running Green Label Sound and Cornerstone also owns The Fader along with the magazine s record label. Converse also hired the New York media and marketing company to handle the forthcoming studio. Red Bull Records This label opened moncler girls jacket not long after Mountain Dew s. Current acts include AWOLNATION, Interpartysystem, Twin Atlantic, and Black Gold. Red Bull also sponsors a Music Academy that gives participants the chance to attend two weeks of music lectures by leading industry names and study Moncler Alpin top eider down Women brief paragraph eider green music production and DJ techniques. The Academy has been around for over a decade and also offers free downloads. Converse Rubber Tracks You may remember that Converse was behind the original single "Summertime" teaming Kid Cudi with Vampire Weekend and Best Coast. So building a big (5,200 square feet) Brooklyn studio is not a first company venture into the music industry. Studio time will be free to those bands that get a slot. Quoting from a New York Times article, "Converse says it will have no influence on the music, the artists will Moncler Bady quilted hooded down jacket pink keep ownership rights, and, moncler jackets men outlet as with many brand as patron projects, the songs aren t intended to be used in ads." Presuming that s true, harmony wins over discord in this bands and brands partnership. For artists wanting to get in on these deals, none of the Web sites had information on how to submit
