There are many reasons why we may experience mental health challenges- adverse childhood experiences, loss of a loved one, major life challenges, substance abuse, stress- the list goes on. These factors affect us all, but for African Americans, there's also racism, lack of resources, gun violence, poverty, and stigma. Why are black people less likely than whites to be correctly diagnosed with mental illness and also less likely to seek professional help? On this edition of Another View, a frank discussion with Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, Norfolk City Councilwoman Danica Royster, and clinical psychologist LaConda Fanning. This and other Another View Programs can be heard on demand.
