Summary of the article “Why race matters when it comes

to mental health”
The psychological impact on the black people due to prolonged racism has been immense.
Black people are consistently segregated from the white by attaching all the negative
psychological conclusions to them. Reminders being- black people more likely to suffer from
Covid-19 deaths, childbirth deaths, poverty, etc. Even the mental health services apply
discrimination as they avoid counselling black people and also not giving proper treatment or
therapy to them as the underlying issues worsen. The embedded bias of the world not only
created an abyss of racial trauma but also made the black infants significantly susceptible to
stress, depression and anxiety as the level of cortisol reactivity is enhanced biologically. Cases of
black people being murdered by the police authority rockets sky high even now as they kill
black people at a rate six times higher than the white in the UK. Having the doors of salvation
closed infinitely for the black people, it is still possible to uproot the systematic discrimination
by keeping the talks against racism going on, working together ,developing deeper sense of
connection and pride in racial identity, resolving psychological issues, black lives will triumph!
