Seeing Depression through a Cultural Lens

Placeholder author icon
By Xiaoling Jiang and Barry Fogel ’70

Published May 29, 2025

This volume of Seeing Depression Through a Cultural Lens (Oxford University Press), a collaborative effort between Fogel (a neuroscientist) and Jiang (a scholar of comparative culture) examines the ways in which cultural identity shapes perceptions of depression, suicide, and the bipolar spectrum. Cultures inform how mental health and mood disorders are discussed and how different conditions may — or may not — be stigmatized. The book aims to offer an education in treating and assessing mental health conditions across diverse populations.
