Abstract
Objectives: Many psychiatrists, and other providers alike, find difficulty integrating a culture-centered approach to clinical practice and navigating the challenges when they arise. We call attention to the ongoing challenges of addressing the cultural barriers between patient and physician.
Methods: We present a case of an African patient with a rare case of Fahr's syndrome whose clinical diagnostic course was complicated by culture and language barriers.
Results: The patient's hospital course was challenged by cultural and language barriers that were difficult to integrate into her care, likely contributing to a prolonged diagnostic course and hospitalization.
Conclusions: Cultural considerations in medicine can enhance patient-physician relationships and ultimately strengthen clinical outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
