Listen "Norms, neurodiversity, ableism and mental health in the Black community"

Episode Synopsis

This episode talks about the limitations of psychiatry and psychology in diagnosing mental conditions and disorders in marginalised communities - particularly Black people. Including commentary on limited access to healthcare, medicalisation and disparate diagnoses as a result of the context of behavioural classifications (racial, cultural, gendered and classed), I draw on statistics to explain why we need to rethink the mind biologically, socially and pathologically.
