UNITED STATES Nearly one in five adults live with mental illness in the U.S. • • • • • •
lack adults (17.3%) B Hispanic/Latinx (18.0%) American Indian/Alaska Native (18.7%) Asian (14.4%) Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders (16.6%) White (22.2%)
Stats Major depressive episodes reported among adolescents INDIANA • In Indiana, the prevalence of adolescents reporting a major depressive episode during the past year is 18.4% which is higher than the U.S. prevalence (15.0%). •U nfortunately, the prevalence of adolescents in Indiana reporting a major depressive episode during the past year is not available by race, ethnicity. UNITED STATES The prevalence of youth (12 to 17 years of age) reporting a major depressive episode during the past year: • Black (9.4%) • Hispanic/Latinx (13.8%) • American Indian/Alaska Native (16.3%) • Asian (4.4%) • Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders (4.7%) • White (14.0%)
Stats Suicide rates in Indiana & U.S. by race (per 100,000) INDIANA • Non-Hispanic Blacks (8.45) • Hispanic/Latinx (6.30) • Non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska • Native (N/A) • Non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islanders (N/A) • Non-Hispanic Whites (15.79) UNITED STATES • Non-Hispanic Blacks (7.04) • Hispanic Latinx (7.24) • Non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska • Native (13.64) • Non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islanders (7.04) • Non-Hispanic Whites (15.67)
#DidYouKnow It is a myth that “suicide is a white thing.” Data historically shows lower rates of suicide among Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) than white Americans despite racial and ethnic minorities experiencing higher rates of social stressors. There could be many reasons for this including racial disparities in suicide data. Deaths in BIPOC are more likely to be coded as undetermined than those of white Americans in part because racial and ethnic minorities are less likely than whites to leave a note and to have a record of mental disorders. (Lower rates of mental health diagnoses reflect at least in part poorer access to health care and treatment.)
Stats
The crisis of black youth suicide • I n youth ages 10 to 19 years, suicide is the second leading cause of death. • The suicide death rate among Black youth has been found to be increasing faster than any other racial/ ethnic group. • Black youth under 13 years are twice as likely to die by suicide than their white counterparts. • An analysis of CDC data reveals the rise in suicide attempts among Black adolescents has been increasing since 1991 — rising a staggering 73% over the last 25 years, while injury by attempt rose by 122% for Black adolescent boys during that time period. • Meanwhile...
#DidYouKnow Meanwhile...Black adolescents are significantly less likely to receive care for depression—a major risk factor for suicide—with pervasive structural inequities, social determinants of health, stigma and mistrust of healthcare providers creating daunting barriers to treatment.
Stats
People who need but do not seek mental health services: In the United State, more than half of adults (55.2%) who needed mental health services did not seek these services. The portion of Black and Brown people who needed mental health services did not seek these services is higher than Whites. • Black adults (67.1%) • Hispanic/Latinx (66.1%) • American Indian/Alaska Native (not available) • Asian (76.7%) • White (50.0%)
Why aren’t minorities seeking helllp if they need it? One reason people of color may not be “seeking” mental health services is because there is a shortage of mental health professionals of color. For racial and ethnic minorities, it is difficult to find a therapist that is able to culturally connect with them, in other words, a mental health professional who looks like them and can relate on a personal level. According to @APA, Black psychologists comprised just 3% of the psychology workforce. Black male psychologists made up just 0.87% of psychologists.
Stats
Disparities in mental health professionals In Indiana, the racial, ethnic diversity of mental health professionals is limited. For example, the following details indicate the race, ethnicity reported by psychologists in Indiana. • Black (3.1%) • Hispanic/Latinx (1.3%) • American Indian/Alaska Native (0.2%) • Asian/Pacific Islander (2.9%) • White (92.2%) In the United States, the racial, ethnic diversity of mental health professionals is limited. For example, the following details indicate the race, ethnicity reported by psychologist in the U.S. • Black (4%) • Hispanic/Latinx (5%) • Asian (6%) • White (86%)
Please Note... An earlier statistic showed that a larger percentage of white Americans experience diagnosed mental illness when compared to racial and ethnic minorities. However, when compared to white Americans, data shows that racial and ethnic minorities experience higher rates of mental distress. Also, a larger percentage of racial and ethnic minorities experience adverse social conditions that can negatively impact mental health outcomes. For many people of color, their mental health issues simply go undiagnosed. .
#RaiseAwareness #MinorityMentalHealth What does racism have to do with health? Media Statement from CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH on Racism and Health: “What we know is this: racism is a serious public health threat that directly affects the well-being of millions of Americans. As a result, it affects the health of our entire nation. Racism is not just the discrimination against one group based on the color of their skin or their race or ethnicity, but the structural barriers that impact racial and ethnic groups differently to influence where a person lives, where they work, where their children play, and where they worship and gather in community. These social determinants of health have life-long negative effects on the mental and physical health of individuals in communities of color.” Over generations, these structural inequities have resulted in stark racial and ethnic health disparities that are severe, far-reaching and unacceptable.
City of Indianapolis deemed racism a public health crisis on June 8, 2020. CITY COUNTY SPECIAL RESOLUTION NO. 18, 2020 “BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY-COUNTY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS AND OF MARION COUNTY, INDIANA: Section 1. That we declare racism to be a public health crisis in Indianapolis and Marion County that affects all members of our community and that deserves action from all levels of government and civil society...”
