In What Ways Do People of Color Differ in Mental Health than non people of color?

First off, most people of color mainly root from lower class communities which already puts people who are from affluent communities ahead because they are mostly made up of non P.O.C. For people of color, there is also a stigma attached to having a mental illness and being able to receive treatment is difficult. The stigma behind treatments are difficult for people of color because most of these people do look for help. The difference is that when people of color seek out treatment they tend to receive a backlash from their own communities. When these individuals feel the backlash they tend to internalize the negative comments that others say and do not get the treatment they need. This then makes their mental health get worse rather than better. When these individuals are not treated they then think this is the mindset to have towards mental health issues and project it onto to others who can also be battling with the same issues. It then creates a viscous cycle onto the next person and makes our communities weaker and creates a division with each other and the way we communicate our issues. Overall, with these stigmas our communities get divided and compared to non P.O.C who seek out treatment and do not receive backlash and are able to talk about their issues amongst each other creates a unity and a more accepting community. Due to the stigma behind treatment for P.O.C, their communities tend to crumble and become deficient because of lack of treatment and communication.
