Mental Health and Black Men
Why are black men the most likely to be diagnosed with mental health problems in the UK?
According to NHS England, 1 in 4 adults will experience a mental illness in their lifetime. In the UK, black people are more likely than white people to be diagnosed with mental health problems and to be sectioned - in particular young, black men. Why is this the case?
