It is my guess that due to the fact that Sigmund Freud was Jewish the country of Pakistan along with some other Muslim countries must have a lower proportion of psychiatrists and therefore fewer people diagnosed as having a "mental disorder". (LOL)
It seems that Muslims are far less inclined to acknowledge certain mental states as diseases and are thus far less likely to have kids on Ritalin or medication for "issues". They may be less likely to have nice men and women talking "nicely" to them in the capacity of psychologist. I am only making these assessments on the basis of my personal observations.
How does the official or "diagnosed" state of mental health differ between the Pakistanis and North Americans?
I am just curious.
