Is there a stigma with being a black man and being depressed?

[Warren Moon]

Seems like we are the last group to deal with real depression. Thoughts?

 

[Jean Jacket]

The reason why Black men aren't the archetype for getting help with mental health issues is because there is a stereotype that we are feral, simplistic, and animalistic creation.

The real problem is brothas that buy into the bullshyt to believe that depression isn't real, and they just need to talk to "Jesus" or who the fukk ever else to solve their problems.

Like James Baldwin said, "To be Black in America is to remain in a constant rage"...

We probably need the most "time outs" to reflect and heal over the shyt cacs put us through, but the system is designed to keep us lesser...

Get those help that need it breh.

Black men can't let others see our weakness. No matter who it is or what race or gender they are.
When everyone is trying to tear you down you can't let them see an opening.

I have depression. The mental health system like every other system in america is not set up for us.
