The purpose of this study is Investigating cultural differences and its effect on psychotic disordersr. The method of this study 25 articles have been considered that have been researches on psychotic disorders according to their culture, we gathered together. The results showed that In traditional cultures, psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations are often attributed to spiritual, religious, or magical experiences.In contrast, in Western cultures, these symptoms are linked to biological or psychiatric disorders and more attention is paid to drug treatment. Collectivist cultures (such as Eastern countries) typically provide stronger social and family support, which contributes to improved treatment outcomes.In contrast, in individualistic societies (such as Western countries), stigma and social exclusion are more severe, which can negatively affect treatment and disease acceptance.Religious beliefs can change how symptoms are perceived. In some cultures, delusions and hallucinations are considered signs of connection with spiritual forces.These beliefs can have both a positive effect (such as strengthening hope) and a negative effect (such as delaying treatment).Psychotic disorders may be more common in developing countries, but patients benefit from stronger social support.In developed countries, although treatment facilities are more advanced, stigma can prevent patients from accessing services. The results of these articles emphasize that the treatment of psychotic disorders should be tailored to the culture of each society. Using treatment methods that respect the patient's beliefs and cultural values can bring better results.
