Similarity in depressive symptom profile in a population-based study of migrants in the Netherlands

Abstract: Objective Depression is a clinical syndrome developed in Western Europe and North-America. The expression of symptoms and the impact of symptoms on functioning may therefore be expected to vary across cultures and languages. Our first aim was to study differences in depressive symptom profile between indigenous and non-Western immigrant populations in the Netherlands. We hypothesized that differences in expression of depressive symptoms would be more likely in the domains of mood and cognitions, and less likel… Show more

“…Furthermore, the present results substantiate earlier studies demonstrating that cultural differences in emotional processes shrink or disappear when it comes to psychopathology (Schrier et al, 2010).
