I'd be interested to read that...the characteristics of someone's hallucinations or delusions are 100% culturally bound and linked to their personal experience, but I don't know if it's as cut and dry as kinder and funnier in non-developed countries. I've encountered many folks with schizophrenia in the US who experienced psychosis they did not find in any way distressing, for example, and abuse and trauma also absolutely happen in all countries and will similarly contribute to fearful/frightening psychotic symptoms in all countries.

From what I hear the thing that helps or hurts is cultural understanding of what a disembodied voice is. If you start hearing voices and think demon you hear what demons would say, but if you think ancestors guiding you, you hear what you think they’d say.
Idk if alters from DID work similarly though
Yes and yes! I wish I could easily find it.
