Building South Asian Mental Health literature
We are working to identify trends in “Somatization”, or the misidentification of mental health symptoms as physical issues, in South Asian college-age students at the University of Texas at Austin.
To bring forth this study, we are studying the links between physical complaints and mental diagnosis documented for patients within partner clinics.
What we have noticed is a differing mindset towards mental health care within South Asians, representing itself through certain behaviors and thoughts.
We are conducting field-level research into sociocultural attitudes towards mental health treatment, hoping to identify potential trends between age groups.
This research will lay the groundwork for future community outreach efforts.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software.
