الصحة النفسية و تفسير الاضطراب النفسي من منظور اجتماعي ثقافي جزائري

Abstract EN

Mental health considers the person’s enjoyment of psychological and social compatibility, as well as self-realization, a feeling of happiness, and the ability to face the problems of life.

it is all about how people think, feel, and behave.

people sometimes use the term “mental health” to mean the absence of a mental disorder.

in addition, mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being with the ability to be professionally active.

it means the obliteration and eradication of the individual's individuality ; rather it is the individual’s acquisition of an aspect of psychosocial development to liberate one’s strengths and knowledge of one’s multiple capabilities.

subsequently, different perceptions are available from the scientific side in the Algerian society, yet the socio-cultural aspect is completely different from the scientific one.

accordingly, several questions are raised which the researcher attempts to answer through this humble intervention.

the questions are as follows : what is mental health? what is the relationship between culture and mental disorders? how to explain psychological disorder from an Algerian socio-cultural perspective?
