Cultural neuroscience and global mental health represent a groundbreaking interdisciplinary field that combines theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches to address the critical challenges facing global mental health. This field is dedicated to identifying the root causes, risks, and preventative factors associated with mental health disorders across cultures, with the ultimate goal of improving and achieving health equity for all individuals worldwide.

The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience and Global Mental Health stands as a pioneering comprehensive overview of this field. It delves into the profound ways in which culture can shape the neurobiological mechanisms underlying mental health. The book is organized into five insightful parts:

Part I provides a foundational exploration of theoretical foundations in cultural neuroscience and global mental health.

Part II presents comprehensive reviews that investigate the etiology of mental health disorders across diverse cultures.

Part III examines the societal and environmental factors that impact prevention and early intervention strategies in global mental health.

Part IV explores innovative approaches for improving treatment outcomes and expanding access to care in global mental health.

Part V critically examines the cultural and socioeconomic factors that contribute to the prevalence of mental disorders among different ethnic groups.

This handbook serves as an invaluable educational resource for mental health professionals, as well as those in the fields of cultural neuroscience and public health. It offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective on the complex interplay between culture, neuroscience, and mental health, providing valuable insights for developing effective interventions and promoting global well-being.
