The provision of mental health services to immigrants in the Netherlands is hampered by difficulty in establishing valid diagnoses of psychiatric disorders. To improve the process of diagnosing depressive disorder among Turkish women in Dutch mental healthcare, we conducted a qualitative study of women with depression in Rotterdam. A bilingual Turkish-Dutch diagnostic interview was developed to explore Turkish women's idioms of distress. Interviews were conducted with 20 women with a disputed diagnosis of depression. Results showed that distress among the Turkish women was characterized by a wide range of somatic complaints, with anxiety and agitation occurring as frequently as depressive complaints. Because the range of complaints is so varied, major depression may be underdiagnosed in the Turkish immigrant population.
向荷兰移民提供精神卫生服务受到阻碍，难以对精神障碍做出有效诊断。为了改进荷兰精神卫生保健机构中对土耳其裔女性抑郁症的诊断过程，我们在鹿特丹对患有抑郁症的女性进行了一项定性研究。我们开发了一种双语土耳其-荷兰诊断访谈，以探索土耳其裔女性的苦恼习语。对 20 名有争议的抑郁症诊断的女性进行了访谈。结果表明，土耳其裔女性的苦恼表现为广泛的躯体主诉，焦虑和烦躁与抑郁主诉一样常见。由于抱怨的范围如此广泛，因此在土耳其裔移民人群中可能会对重度抑郁症做出误诊。
