This is an excerpt from the beginning of the interview:

“Are American ideas of mental health and treating mental illness being exported along with Starbucks and McDonalds? Author Ethan Watters looks at post-tsunami work in Sri Lanka, anorexia in China and the marketing of anti-depressants in Japan and says yes. We speak to Ethan about his new book, “Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche.”

Here’s a link to Jon Stewart’s interview with Watters where he discusses the cultural aspects of mental illness. Definitely worth watching!
