Abstract
Dementia is a cause of significant burden across countries and cultures. Many issues related to mental health problems among older people living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have been highlighted in the literature. However, much of the work in LMICs examines these issues through Western international perspectives. The dearth of local contextually relevant investigations forces academics to rely on universal facts and concepts, discounting uniqueness of the context and cultures.
