Depression is a cross-cultural disorder, which displays cultural differences in symptom presentation and prevalence. The guidelines for the assessment of cultural influencing factors for the medical history and therapy and the consideration of stressors associated with the immigration process can help to better understand the socio-cultural background of patients with an immigration background and facilitate the differential diagnosis. Using these strategies, psychiatry and psychotherapy are better prepared to deal with this large heterogeneous population given the fact that one fifth of Germany's population has an immigration background. The transcultural aspects of depression are illustrated with a case report.
抑郁症是一种跨文化的疾病，在症状表现和患病率方面存在文化差异。评估病史和治疗中文化影响因素以及考虑与移民过程相关的压力源的指南，有助于更好地理解有移民背景患者的社会文化背景，并促进鉴别诊断。鉴于德国五分之一的人口有移民背景，运用这些策略，精神病学和心理治疗能更好地应对这一庞大的异质人群。本文通过一个病例报告来说明抑郁症的跨文化问题。
