Common mental health disorders among the Black community include depression, ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), suicide (particularly among young Black men) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
However, only about 1 in 3 Blacks who need mental health care will get it. This is because of insurance barriers, stigma, lack of awareness, and distrust of the medical community.
