Causal beliefs regarding schizophrenia and help-seeking behaviors among patients with schizophrenia and family caregivers attending psychiatric clinics in Cambodia
Schizophrenia often follows a chronic or recurrent course, placing an immense burden on patients and their families. Mental health services in Cambodia are still highly limited, thus there is a major treatment gap. It is common that people consult traditional healers ( Kru Khmer ) and monks. In this culture, people who receive psychiatric medical treatment are expected to exhibit higher mental health literacy, but little is known about this facto…
Key expressions of trauma-related distress in Cambodian children
More than half of all children in Cambodia experience direct abuse and over 70% experience other traumatic events, which significantly increase their risks for a range of physical and mental health problems.

As a result, rates of posttraumatic stress symptoms among Cambodian youth are high. However, …
Local clinician perspectives on cause, impact, and treatment of key expressions of distress in Cambodian children
Child trauma and posttraumatic stress in Cambodia is highly prevalent, perpetuated within a postwar sociocultural context.

The current study aimed to examine child adaptive functioning behaviors for children in Cambodia, a country faced with continuing re…

Phey-khlach (double fear), bor-veas-cheas-chgnay (wishing that the trauma would go away), dam-doeum-kor (planting a kapok…
