social-cultural perspective

Explanation:

The so called social-cultural perspective will emphasize the influence of society and culture on mental health and abnormal behaviour.

The study of abnormal thoughts, behaviours and feelings that deviate from a significant and representative (statistically) population.

This approach argues how circumstances around someone can shape behaviours, and how the surrounding can play a key part as well as the social and cultural factors present.

All behaviour is then learned through interaction in a social context, that can often start in the family setting, then extend to a community level and be directly influenced by culture.

Religion, race, ethics will be accounted, so to measure how they impact:

Some anxiety and mood disorders will then be observed within a context of culture makes a difference in how you view the behavior, and the sociocultural perspective ponders them.
