SPECIAL EDITION:
BLACK MENTAL HEALTH IN BRITAIN
Read the full transcript of our
live webchat with Raj Persaud and his guests about black mental health issues.
In the late 70s research showed that African and Caribbean people suffered severe disadvantage in the mental health system. Little has changed over the last thirty years.
Black people make up nearly a third of patients in secure services they’re six times more likely than their white counterparts to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act and Black people are up to 18 times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia. On top of that black patients are much more likely to be given drugs than counselling.
This week a special edition of All In The Mind comes from The Tabernacle Arts and Culture Centre in London's Notting Hill where generations of migrants from the former colonies in the West Indies settled.
Dr Raj Persaud is joined by psychiatrists, outreach workers, former patients and their families to ask why so many Black British people are still facing discrimination in the mental health system.
