I see the picture in this video of an African woman who is wearing her African traditional jewelry while discussing diagnosing mental disorders. I just think we have to be a bit careful to not warrant any systemic biases or assumptions based on mental illness and better understand that there is a great array of cultures and traditions we don't quite understand or are unfamiliar with, that may look unfamiliar to us with when discussing psychological disorders, especially being mental health professionals it can come off as judgemental, prejudicial or racist although that my not have been the intent. However, I do agree with what is stated during this presentation
