Depression and somatization in Turkish migrants in Germany: the role of migration-related stressors
Findings support the need to integrate cultural humility-defined as clinician self-awareness, openness, and contextual sensitivity-into evidence-based care. Symptom interpretation must consider patients' migration histories and cultural frameworks. Culturally adapted, person-centered interventions may improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for migrant populations.
