This is good information

How about black men unable to find work. You can’t get treatment without a job

Mother fuckers act like they care. Then they belittle me for speaking up. F yall

From one physician to another, thank you for highlighting these important threats to the wellness of Black women and for empowering people with spiritual as well as medical knowledge.

Thanks for sharing tips and expertise on depression and how it affects us as males and black males in particular. More of these talks need to be had for men whom battle depression.

Please remove the "ONLY for African Americans" from your description....this is invaluable content for EVERYONE! A rising tide lifts all boats. Thank you for this enriching content.

very informative and easy to understand.

Only African-Americans?

😂😂😂 Good!!

Thank you. This show was so important and informative with Dr. Graddy . I wish I had this several years ago . Everything she said is the reality of the caregiver.

I love this brother, he explains it so well

The only way a broken so-called blackmen can heal is from the help of a righteous so-called blackmen that has healed in the specific experience #IUIC

The answer is, we are being raised by single mothers who don’t know what they’re doing

Well said

I absolutely love this women 🙏🏾❤️ The courage and concern to even study the scientific effects of “racism” is Pulitzer Prize Status‼️

You are one of my favorite singers ❤

15:32 that part 😢

The church is sadly, the originator of scores of ongoing depressive episodes for African men. On the flip side, A healthy _spiritual_ practice is very very important tho.

*Disease state of depression.... Yes stated correctly.*

*Education and employment.... 2 strong components to depression. Such a powerful discussion .*

Dr. Joe- this has been very helpful.

I liked it. But can you mention black men too next time. I’m a black male who experience this all the time with my hair. They either want me to be bald, pressed white

I was a single mom. When my children were young they witnessed drastic trauma via a DV incident. Although they are grown now it is evident that they are very negatively impacted by what occurred. Please send effective affordable practical help like yesterday. Good God please hear my cry. Thank you genuinely and thank Yeshua in advance. Shalom

I think the way they handled this conversation is dated, we now know that often when black men do get help their care is subpar to that of that their white counterparts. Only 4% of psychiatrist are black, which may lead black men to not feel safe to go those spaces. Increased enrollment for black psychiatrist and restructuring of how black men are handled in psychiatry is a start.

The best ever. I salute your God. Bishop. Well done. Sealed.

Mr. Smallwood, you are one of my favorite musical artist, period! With that being said, I want to thank you for your honesty. Your forthright discussion during this gathering of Saints will no doubt help, encourage and support the hearts of many who also need help! All of us are going through something either physically or mentally. Going to get help is the first step to leading a beautiful healthy life! And you are right, God gave us Doctors to help keep us healthy! May God continue to bless you ❤

I don’t think that seeking help actually helps a lot of the time. I am not a man, but had brutal postpartum depression and the therapists DID NOT help me. Friends and family were sh!tty and dismissive. “Oh it’s just hormones, it’s just this or that.” Imagine how much worse that probably is for men? The stiff upper lip ethic. Your pain doesn’t matter or isn’t that real is just our cultural ethos, even if you do seek help.

I'm a white female elder 😢

Once we step away from society standards, we'll be better off. We have to go within and goes with what works best for us as individuals. Also, there is a lot of trauma that's keeping us a part as a group. As a black woman, I can support and love my man, but he may not have the strength to open up and be vulnerable enough to take that help. No matter what that help looks like.

this foreigner has zero to tell me about racism or anything else about the American Black community. she’s not part of it. i don’t want the south african model here in the US. hard pass

Thats due to the racism, the lies on Black men, the discretion of Black male scholars and inventors and of course the hatred Black women exhibit to us everyday online while uplifting other races of men. As Black men we are all we have we have to look out for one another and stop beefing with each other over foolishness

GLORY GLORY TO GOD.... MY VICTORY DANCE💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

It's very educative.

This was real

Good Jametta interview from a cousin in Arkansas

Pain.

I was in the hospital for 5 days for a mental health breakdown. None of my famiky cares or check on me. In my family no black men graduate highschool and no one cares about us. I am an exception but atill treated the same way as the others.

It’s interesting how he hasn’t identified the lack of a positive black male fathers for these black young boys increases depression. A clear obvious answer to fix these issues.

Great job Dr. Pleasant!

There are several solutions for depression that do not involve medication. Here are some options: Psychotherapy: Talk therapy with a trained mental health professional can help you identify and address the underlying causes of your depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that is particularly effective for depression. Exercise: Regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or yoga, has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression. Mindfulness meditation: Practicing mindfulness meditation has been shown to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. Social support: Connecting with friends and family, joining a support group, or volunteering can help you feel less isolated and improve your mood. Nutrition: Eating a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. Sleep hygiene: Getting enough sleep and establishing a consistent sleep routine can help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. It's important to note that these solutions may not work for everyone, and in some cases, medication may be necessary to effectively manage depression. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider or mental health professional to determine the best course of treatment for you.
