Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A call to action shedding light on the issue of depression in black men and the barriers that prevent too many from seeking and receiving care.Rosalynn Carter, former U.S. First Lady, and chairperson, The Carter Center Mental Health Task Force In mainstream society depression and mental illness are still somewhat taboo subjects; in the black community they are topics that are almost completely shrouded in secrecy. As a result, millions of black men are suffering in silence or getting treatment only in extreme circumstancesin emergency rooms, homeless shelters, and prisons. The neglect of emotional disorders among men in the black community is nothing less than racial suicide. In this groundbreaking book, veteran journalist and award-winning author John Head argues that the problem can be traced back to the time of slavery, when it was believed that blacks were unable to feel inner pain because they had no psyche. This myth has damaged generations of African American men and their families, creating a society that blames black men for being violent and aggressive without considering that depression might be a root cause. Black Men and Depression challenges the African American community and the psychiatric community to end the suffering of black men, and address what can be done by loved ones to help those who need it most. Previously published as Standing in the Shadows In this first-of-its-kind exploration, an award-winning journalist reveals the depths of black men's buried mental and emotional pain through his personal story--a 25-year struggle with depression with a cultural analysis of how the illness is perceived in the black community--and why nobody wants to talk about it.
