Hello, I need help getting information on Thailands view on Mental Health, etc...How do they see certain mental health ailments....things like that. Can anyone help. ? thank you

Welcome to the forums, alexaviktoria. I think traditional families still hold onto the belief that mental afflictions have supernatural causes. If a person is suffering from a mental condition, the family would probably bring him/her to a spirit doctor or monk rather than a psychiatrist.
