Although the prevalence of depression is similar in black and white communities, suicide rates among black youth have risen sharply over the past 20 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">This points to a looming black mental health crisis. Black people can develop different symptoms of depression and are less likely to seek or remain in treatment. Managing depression is critical in all communities, and finding racially sensitive treatment can be important for Black people<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/traumatic-growth-how-to-start-healing\/\">dealing with racial trauma<\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #333333;\">and discrimination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Read further to learn more about depression in black communities, including causes, symptoms, common myths and stigma, and treatment options.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Causes\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Depression is a complex illness that can affect a person&#8217;s relationships, mental well-being, and physical health. Researchers have not identified a single cause for inducing this condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Instead, several risk factors may predispose people to depression. Regardless of ethnicity, the most common causes of depression include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Genetic factors:<\/strong>\u00a0Depression appears to run in families, suggesting that there may be a genetic link.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Biological factors:<\/strong>\u00a0Physical changes in the body can increase the risk of depression. Certain medications or medical conditions can alter a person&#8217;s brain chemistry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Environmental factors:\u00a0<\/strong>Stress, trauma, and abuse can increase a person&#8217;s risk of depression. The risk can also increase in difficult situations, such as after losing a job or a relationship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Psychological Factors:<\/strong>\u00a0A person&#8217;s temperament, psychological makeup, and worldview can increase their risk of depression. For example, people with a negative attitude may be more vulnerable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Symptoms\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Symptoms of depression are the same in blacks and non-blacks, although symptom profiles can vary from person to person.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Because black people may have trouble getting treatment, their symptoms may become more severe in the meantime. In addition, stigma can cause some black people to hide their symptoms of depression.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Some signs of depression are:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/coping-with-grief-and-loss\/\">Feeling glum <\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\">or depressed all or most of the time\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/are-you-in-a-disruptive-mood-it-might-be-caused-by-your-childhood\/\">Loss of curiosity<\/a> <span style=\"color: #333333;\">in activities you used to relish\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/napping-towards-hypertension-new-research-shows\/\">Changing your sleep patterns<\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\">, such as going to bed. e.g. too little or too much sleep\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/how-to-stop-emotional-eating-and-make-peace-with-food\/\">Change in your appetiteg.<\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> eating too much or too little\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Unwanted weight loss or weight gain\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Feelings of hopelessness\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Feelings of<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/is-your-reassurance-seeking-behavior-becoming-obsessive\/\">worthlessness<\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\">, low energy, and fatigue\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Loss of<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/things-to-know-about-dissociative-amnesia\/\">motivation<\/a><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Feeling anxious or having trouble concentrating.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Unexplained physical symptoms such as<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/lightheadedness-and-a-pounding-heart\/\">headaches<\/a>,<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> muscle pain, or nausea.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Depression symptoms can also affect a person&#8217;s cognition. Healthcare providers sometimes fail to recognize and treat depression in black people. Some studies suggest that doctors are less likely to recognize or take seriously a wide range of health symptoms when black people are involved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Statistical research generally suggests that rates of depression are similar or slightly lower in blacks than in whites.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">One study found a lifetime depression rate of 10.4% in blacks and 17.9% in whites. Most studies, however, show that black depression lasts longer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">They are also more likely to have co-diagnoses such as addiction,<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd-what-you-need-to-know\/\">post-traumatic stress disorder<\/a>, <span style=\"color: #333333;\">and<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drcorrielus.com\/psychology-of-behavior-anxiety-disorders\/\">generalized anxiety disorder<\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\">. Racism and stigma in psychiatry can increase the impact of depression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Physicians and other care providers offer lower treatment rates for black people with depression than their white counterparts. They do not recognize racism and racial trauma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Many people with depression have suicidal thoughts. Suicide rates are increasing among some groups of African Americans. Black high school students report suicidal thoughts at 9.8% compared to 6.1% for white students. And while suicide attempts among white teens fell between 1991 and 2017, they increased by 73% among black teens over the same period. Try different treatments to get the best relief.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Some of the most effective treatments for depression include:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Medications:<\/strong>\u00a0A wide range of medications help with depression. Some people may need to try a combination of drugs or different doses of a single drug.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Therapy:<\/strong>\u00a0Therapy can help a person process negative emotions, develop coping skills, heal their relationships, and understand the connection between their thoughts and feelings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Lifestyle Changes:<\/strong>\u00a0Many people with depression find that getting more exercise, making healthy dietary changes, and getting good sleep can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Hospitalization:<\/strong>\u00a0People with major depression may need hospitalization.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Alternative Therapies:<\/strong>\u00a0Some people find additional support in acupuncture, meditation, and other alternative medicines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">A word from the doctor \u2014<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Depression can cause intense sadness, but it can trigger a complex combination of other symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Many people with this ailment acknowledge their case is unsalvageable, what might prevent them from seeking treatment.
