Good Morning All
Yesterday, I spoke to one of my best friends and he stated you should post something about mental health issues...because one never knows who one really is at the core of their being...One of the statements I made about the African American community and our views on seeing mental health professionals has been stigmatized over the years...You know what we say..."Black people don't go to see psychiatrists...we go to see Jesus"..."Therapists are for white people"...and on and on we go.
However, I do believe that if one is dealing with depression, thoughts of one's own demise, living a perceived defeated life style...then they should go and talk to someone neutral such as a psychiatrist, a therapist, a minister...why suffer if you have spoke to Jesus.
The bible does state that you should call on the elders for the sick and Jesus did cast out bad spirits from afflicted persons...So why not see someone? That is my question to you? Would you go see a shrink? (excuse the pun).
Stay Blessed and at peace.
Angela
