Note
The sociocultural model in psychology focuses on how society, culture, and interpersonal relationships influence mental health.
It emphasizes that mental health is not just an individual issue but is shaped by external factors like socioeconomic status, family dynamics, and cultural norms.
For example, someone living in poverty may experience more stress, which can increase their risk of mental illness.
