In Asian-American community there is typically people who do not try to seek mental health services. People who grew up as an Asian-American would most likely experience parents always saying there is nothing wrong with their children and that they need to focus on studying more. Asian-Americans do not take advantage of mental health services because of fear of what their parents and family would think of it, countries like Japan and China have a very high suicide rate than other countries do. Asians have been known for being high achievers, which causes more stress in both native Asians and Asian-Americans. In Japan it is often to apologize very frequently, as most people in Japan are extremely polite. It is also very common to preach for forgiveness in Japan, even if a person isn't at fault. In certain parts of Asia, such as Vietnam and China; it is highly expected to take care of your older relatives especially your parents as they grow older and when they are senior citizens. It is also very important in Vietnam to always take your family's side even if they are in the wrong. It's important for women in Vietnam to follow traditional values and cultures. There is something in Thai culture that is pretty different from the rest of Asia, usually when someone gets sick, Thai people usually want to go see a doctor right away; rather than just stay at home until you feel better. People in Thailand also want to live in a community where there are no or very little politics or religion. Though it is much more common for Asian-Americans to become more independent than the average native Asian person, no matter the ethnicity. Vietnamese children often live with their parents up until they are married to move out on their own, especially if you are a female living in Vietnam. Vietnamese-American children crave independence more than native Vietnamese children.
