Summary
In the modern world, migration and immigrants are shaping cities. Human mobility transfers human and material capital as well as knowledge. Hence, increasing diversity within cities is not only a feature of modern day trends in migration and urban growth, it is also an important matter in mental health. Various scholars have suggested considering environmental and sociocultural contexts as additional factors in the understanding of psychopathology and mental disorders [1–3]. While research on mental disorders in Western countries often favors individualistic explanations, with little attention being paid to the role of social structure [4–6], psychosocial and sociocultural factors have often been neglected [7,8].
