There are many ways that cultural variations influence the entire range of mental health problems. Cultural differences in health practices are also major determinants of illness behaviour, coping, treatment response and adherence, rehabilitation and recovery. The cultural differences contribute to health disparities and unequal access to care. Any mental health care system that aims to achieve equity must therefore address issues of cultural diversity. This panel will deliberate on the way mental health knowledge interacts with other bodies of knowledge from a range of socio-institutional realms
