VOICES: Black Men and Depression

Subject

Depression; Mental Health

Description

Depression among Black men is an oft-unspoken pain that deeply affects the health and quality of life of Black people. In fact, the most current review of evidence on Black men and depression suggests a prevalence of five percent to 10 percent. This figure may be much larger, as depression is commonly underdiagnosed. Even more, the failure to address the roots of Black male depression is undermining our communities and keeping us blind to the deep harm of historical and structural racism.
