Prevents automatic equivalence between দরবার and মাজার and records social participation as well as care-seeking.
Relación con la salud mental
Ask what the setting means and what happens there. Religious attendance alone does not indicate disorder.
Safe messaging for media
- Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.
