Cultural psychiatry (transcultural psychiatry, cross‐cultural psychiatry, or ethnopsychiatry) is an interdisciplinary field of research and clinical practice concerned with the impact of culture on mental health and illness. Key questions for cultural psychiatry include the role of culture in the causes and mechanisms of mental disorders, the cultural shaping of psychopathology, and the nature of coping, adaptation, healing, and recovery. These questions can be addressed in terms of the interaction of biological, psychological, and social processes in cultural contexts across the life span. Cultural psychiatry today is concerned with the forces of globalization, which generate new forms of hybrid culture, networked communities, and planetary challenges including climate change and forced migration
