Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.2
How has societal perspective on mental health influenced our understanding of etiology of psychological disorders?
Societal attitudes have had no impact on research or understanding about these disorders.
Mental health discussions have become less acceptable over time, resulting in a more narrow understanding of their causes.
Increased stigma led to a limited understanding due to restricted conversations around them in society.
Decreased stigma allowed for more open discussion and research, leading to better comprehension about their causes & manifestations.
