Depending on the culture and how the parents were raised can make an immense impact on the way the psychopathology of their child. In some cases, mental health is not acknowledged in certain cultures, therefore the children are left without knowing or understanding their mental health issues. This seems to be more predominant in minority cultures, such as the following:African-American: In African-American cultures children are often under an authoritative parental environment, meaning their parents aren’t hovering and controlling over their children but there is a mutual understanding between the roles. They value their children’s independence and often do not seek psychiatric help. I’ve actually had friends who have stated that their parents would tell them that they were overreacting and just seeking attention when they were going through mental health issues. Asian-American/Pacific Islander: Although the cultures are strong in their country of origin, the more that this population has immigrated to the American Mainland, many have lost their traditional cultures and have catered toward the American culture. This minority group is known as the “Model Minority” because of their “success rates”. When thinking of psychiatric help, Asian/Pacific cultures depend on their philosophies rather than seeking mental health help; there seems to be apparent shame in these cultures for the admittance to mental health issues as well as seeking help. Therefore, many asian cultures tend to not seek help, in fact, asian females have the highest suicide rate. I need help responding to the following answer: Latino/Hispanic: Speaking from experience, the Latino/Hispanic community tend to be very firm on not ackowledging mental health issues. Males are predominantely known for hiding their mental issues and women often set them aside due to their culture roles. Gender roles are specific in the Latino/Hispanic community, men tend to do the rough outside work while women tend to the children and home. Anxiety seems to be a predominant mental health issue in this community, which may lead to more violence, alcoholism and drug use.Native American: In the Native American culture, the communication between one another is indirect and not consistent. This community tends to lean more towards individualism and the progress of perfecting onces craft. Although many do not abide by their cultural traditions and do not live on reservations but rather out in American society. Native Americans tend to have a lower poverty rate and be less likely to finish school and get sufficient income, this could be a predominant reason as to why their mental health status is lower than most. Suicide rates are also predominantly high in early adulthood.Wilmshurst, L. (2014). Essentials of Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (2nd ed.).
