What this research adds
Adds a specific English borrowing for communication style. The source attributes a change in care-seeking to the manner of speaking, rather than merely naming trust or formal courtesy.

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.

অংশগ্রহণকারীঃ বেশিরভাগ ক্ষেত্রে কবিরাজকে আমি গত তিনচার মাস আগে ফলো করছি,কবিরাজের প্রতি বেশি বিশ্বাস কিন্তু ট্রেনিং পাওয়ার পরে অধিকাংশ ডাক্তার কিন্তু ফ্রেন্ডলি সবার সাথে কথা বলে ফলে অনেকটা মনে করেন মানুষ কবিরাজের কাছে যাওয়া কমাই দিছে।
Participant: From my observations over the past three to four months, I noticed that people trusted traditional healers more. However, after receiving training, many doctors have started communicating in a more friendly manner, which has led to a decline in visits to traditional healers.
