‘Impaired in life’: Analyzing people’s accounts of depression in Ethiopia – Implications for a cultural-eco social approach to global mental health
The study suggests moving beyond narrow interpretative frameworks in GMH praxis to understand and address the complex dimensions of depression in Ethiopia and similar contexts. The study advocates for a cultural-ecosocial approach to depression, emphasizing the need for mental health interventions that consider the broader social and cultural factors contributing to mental distress.
