"A community of Nepalese people could play the part of being a large, extended family, in terms of the sharing and solving of mental health problems, including signposting to the relevant services. However this poses a dilemma because help may be offered by community members, but at the expense of potential gossip, disapproval and stigma". This book includes an original piece of qualitative research study completed as part of degree of Doctor of Clinical Psychology from the University of Surrey. The purpose of the study was to explore the subjective perspectives of young adults from the Nepalese Community in the UK on mental health and psychological distress. The study makes interesting links between participants' experiences and existing literature on bicultarism and somatisation of mental health problems.
