Knowledge of the interaction between culture, disease expression, and utilization of psychiatric treatment by this population is limited. This article gives a general review of the literature on depression among Chinese Americans in order to clarify misconceptions, to increase knowledge of research on depression that has been done on one specific Asian-American group, and to set a direction for future nursing research and intervention.
