Description

Explore the complex relationship between traditional medicine and modern mental health in this academic study. Depression in Kerala examines how Ayurveda, a traditional Indian medical system, is applied to the modern challenge of depression in 21st century India. Based on over a year of intensive fieldwork, this book provides a significant ethnographic study of the Indian state of Kerala. It investigates how local populations appropriate and adapt global health concepts through the lens of traditional practices. This process, often referred to as glocalization, offers a unique perspective on how mental health categories change when they move from Western contexts to South Asia. This volume is part of the Routledge Studies in Health and Medical Anthropology series. It serves as an essential resource for students and professionals interested in medical anthropology, sociology, and the intersection of traditional healing systems with contemporary psychiatric diagnoses. Readers will gain insight into the cultural shifts occurring within the Indian healthcare landscape.
