Article Abstract:
Asian communities in the UK need a greater level of service provision for members suffering mental health problems. The differing cultural, spiritual and religious approach to mental illness in the Asian community make it a sensitive subject for mental health care providers to tackle. Asian people need services which provide information in their own language, raise awareness of services on offer and tackle the underlying issue of mistrust surrounding western medical care.
