Title of the paper :
The Intersection of Diaspora and Mental Health in Personal Relationships: Analyzing Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West
Abstract:
Diaspora refers to the movement, migration, or scattering of a group of people away from an established or ancestral homeland. This phenomenon often results in individuals and communities experiencing significant cultural dislocation, identity crises, and challenges associated with adapting to new environments. As refugees and migrants navigate their new realities, they frequently face mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. The mental health challenges faced by individuals in the diaspora are profoundly affected by their experiences of displacement. The mental health challenges can significantly affect their personal relationships. This article explores the complex interplay between diaspora and mental health within interpersonal relationships as depicted in Mohsin Hamids novel Exit West. The narrative, which follows the journey of two refugees, Nadia and Saeed, provides a poignant framework for examining how the experience of displacement affects psychological well-being, identity formation, and relational dynamics. Through a close reading of the text and an analysis of relevant psychological theories and diaspora studies, this article highlights the challenges and resilience of individuals navigating the dual pressures of migration and mental health.
