63 PERCENT OF BLACK PEOPLE THINK DEPRESSION IS A PERSONAL WEAKNESS

I told a friend once, "Black people think a therapist is for white women who have had a nervous break down over burning dinner 3 nights in a row"

Meanwhile in the real world, black women use a few more drugs than other demographics, and do a little more...

- emotional eating,

- drinking,

- anesthetizing oneself via orgasm,

and A LOT MORE ISOLATING
("I keep to myself")

Black women will talk about STAYING ALONE, NOT EVEN TALKING TO PEOPLE AT WORK then brag about staying out of the messiness of life.

Sixty three percent of black people thinking that depression is a personal weakness is a lot better than it used to be. I would have guessed the percentage to be 80% or 90%
