Consumer behaviour is shaped by many more factors than individuals think. Emotions, cultural values, and cognitive biases all play a critical role in shaping how and why people make certain purchasing decisions. It is therefore essential to understand these underlying forces in order to create more effective marketing strategies, as well as to help consumers make more informed choices.
The blog gives an overview of the cultural influence that impacts a globally existing mental health disorder, i.e., Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It touches upon and elaborates how the individual culture of the client has an influence on the expression of OCD and its management. Universal features of OCD are mentioned in the blog, but culture-bound expressions are also given a place, as they are of great significance too. Cultural competence in settings that provide treatment for OCD is stressed upon as it is important to better address the experience of OCD sufferers worldwide.
