Mental Health Update

Looking at depression and mental health issues in the African American community.

Depression is a real issue affecting the life's of many African Americans. I would venture to say that many of our young men and women that are incarcerated suffer some form of mental illness. Unfortunately many in our community refuse to see mental illness as an "illness" but rather a character flaw. Mental illness is no more a character flaw than is diabetes...it is a bona fide medical illness which is in many cases is a result of hormonal of chemical imbalances in the brain.
