Abstract: Research in mental health is a complex phenomenon that requires the use of more than one technique. It is extremely crucial to study and understand people's perceptions, beliefs, healing practices and coping strategies related to mental health. Stipulating only one between the medical/biomedical and medical anthropology perspectives may not be adequate to understand the dynamics of mental health research. The number of variables and components associated with the respondents and their social environments give diverse results. Research on mental health is very crucial and different from other kinds of health-related researches. Thus, while conducting mental health research, it is important that the researchers be careful in choosing and applying appropriate methodology. It is a very critical field of research, requiring Interdisciplinary research methodological approaches. An eclectic strategy is required to give an innate understanding of the phenomenon of mental health. Studies should follow both anthropological and epidemiological notions to understand human behaviour, for better management and planning of the mental health services. The proposed paper discusses 'cultural epidemiology' as a methodology and explores its contribution to the contemporary mental health research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
