Introduction

Mental illness in minority communities has been stigmatized for many centuries. This stigma roots from generations of machismo, stereotypes, and the way society has shaped people of color as well. People of color deal with stigmatization when it comes to talking about mental illness, especially with their family.  Communities of people of color including African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latino Americans do not like to talk about mental health which damages individuals who are under entrapment and have mental health issues. It is up to the present generations to break this stigma and bring awareness to mental health.
