Unit 10 - The IB Curriculum - A Conceptual Model

<ul>
	<li>What&#39;s going on? Different cultures see depression in different ways.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: Think of it like foods. People in Italy might love pasta, but in Japan, sushi is more popular. Similarly, what one culture sees as a symptom of depression, another might not recognize as a problem at all.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Summary: Kirmayer says that doctors and patients must work together to understand how depression feels to the patient. This means considering their cultural background.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: Imagine trying to describe your favorite video game to someone who has never played games. You&#39;ll have to find common ground to make them understand why it&#39;s so cool. It&#39;s the same with doctors and patients from different cultures.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>What&#39;s this? This means doctors shouldn&#39;t just prescribe something and say &quot;do this.&quot; They should talk to the patient and understand what makes sense to them.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: It&#39;s like a team project at school. If one person tries to boss everyone around without listening, things might go wrong. But when everyone shares ideas and agrees on a plan, the project turns out better!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Key Points:
	<ul>
		<li>Understand the patient&#39;s cultural background.</li>
		<li>Make communication clear and culturally right.</li>
		<li>Help patients to speak up about their concerns.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: Let&#39;s say you&#39;re trying to explain your favorite book to a friend who speaks a different language. You wouldn&#39;t just quote the book in your language; you&#39;d find a way to explain it in words they understand. That&#39;s what doctors must do with patients from different cultures.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Understanding Culture: The way people see and treat depression can be very different depending on their culture.</li>
	<li>Negotiation: Finding a common understanding between doctor and patient is essential.</li>
	<li>Open Partnership: Doctors need to be partners, not bosses, with their patients.</li>
	<li>Clear Communication: Doctors must talk to patients in ways that make sense to them and encourage them to express themselves.</li>
</ul>
