It’s a Medical Monday and we’re talking about something that can be difficult to see, difficult to discuss, and too often difficult to treat. Mental health in the Black community. Why are Black Americans still more likely to be misdiagnosed or undertreated? How do racism, trauma and chronic stress affect not just our minds, but our bodies? And what can the next generation of Black doctors and mental health professionals do differently? We’ll tackle the stigma, the barriers and the solutions.

Guest: Dr. William Lawson, MD, PhD, Howard University Professor Emeritus, National Mental Health Expert
