While the “Western” biomedical narrative led to great breakthroughs, it does not address adequately cultural expressions of certain pathologies and to adjust for cultural differences. This present article provides the moral reasons for adopting an alternative intercultural model of mental health against the colonizing tendencies of the "Western” biomedical narrative.
