Mental Health and Black Men
Why are black men the most likely to be diagnosed with mental health problems and sectioned in the UK?
According to NHS England, 1 in 4 adults will experience a mental illness in their lifetime. In the UK, black people are more likely than white people to be diagnosed with mental health problems and to be sectioned - in particular young, black men. Why is this the case?
Reece Parkinson joins a panel of guests and a live audience to discuss the issue - from stigma, to masculinity, and access to support. Anthony Davis is a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. Derek Owusu is a writer and the editor of Safe: On Black British Men Reclaiming Space. Josiah Hyacinth is a YouTuber who has been open about his own experience with depression. Jamal Edwards, the founder of SBTV, has made a documentary exploring mental health in men.
