Old video but still relevant today maybe even more with the pandemic and civil unrest going on!
The Pandemic has made the Canadian Govt. even more inhumane if that's possible. Now everyone is considered at mental health risk, so those with serious mental health issues will get even less than the non-existent services they got before.
ASU CAP120 class all say here👋🏾
Bro they are NOT saying here with you
White Fragility never ceases to amaze me. This video at no point attacks "white" people as a group, but instead address the very serious problem of how race and racism play a part into mental health in the U.S. As mentioned, Mental Health is difficult to come by in the U.S. but can be even more challenging if you're a person of color, or non-white.
If you don't understand why people of color struggle in these area, you should really investigate the history of mental health in the U.S., and race in the U.S. in general. This is a very complex and nuanced issue, and whether you like it or not it effects everyone (including "whites").

A. There is no such thing as white people because there is no such thing as race. Race is a social concept that uses obsolete and peudoscientific ideas, largely discredited by the scientific community. Race has no taxonomic significance; all living humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens, and subspecies, Homo sapiens sapiens.
B. If you honestly think that "white" people are oppressed in the US (or any western country), than you honestly don't know anything about the social, economic, and psychological effects of Race and how it shapes the world we live in today. Race is an old, systematic belief and has a great impact on how we veiw/treat others (consciously and unconsciously).
In short, racism toward "whites" (reverse racism) isn't a real thing. If you knew the history, you would understand that when people of color criticize "whites", it's at best criticism and at worst reactionary to the racism they face.
Regardless if you understand or see the privilege, history has shown an obvious bias towards "whites" by created "whites", while creating laws, cultural memes, and even engaging in overt (often violent) prejudice toward non-whites. This amalgam of institutions still operates today and still benefits "whites", regardless if they understand these systems.
Old but needs a response. It absolutely attacks white people 😂 The title is accusatory to get clicks. An accurate title would be something addressing why certain groups of ethnic minorities make it so hard for themselves and other minorities to seek help - by promoting a perpetual victim culture, reinforcing various gang/drug/single parent norma within their communities and looking down on those seeking support. It has quite literally nothing to do with white people (despite referencing white people in the title) and everything to do with certain groups refusing to accept responsibility for their own issues - classic black fragility.
@@EmpireOfBlackSnow13states in one comment the importance of race, then in the next states race does not exist 😂 then goes on to state racism is the cause of all difficulties, but racism against white people does not exist 😂 Racism is the discrimination against someone based on their colour/race - it applies anywhere someone is discriminated against you utter moron
the fear i have is if i go in there and tell them i'm depressed i won't be taken seriously because i'm self-diagnosing. you see online how doctors make fun of patients who come in self-diagnosing based off of "what they saw on the internet" so i feel like i would have to give them symptoms and hope they get it right.
+ting280 They're not gonna laugh at you, mental illnesses are serious and they can lead to unfortunate ends, and doctors especially know that. Self-diagnosis can be right, talk to a doctor if you can. When you are concerned about something then it's time to talk about it.
It's hard regardless. I spent 4 months looking for help after my doctor retired, ran out of my medications and ended up in a hospital. Finally I settled for a nurse practitioner and gave up my ADHD medication because it was too hard to get (thanks stupid college students who abuse drugs I need). I'm not given half the meds I need, I'm paying out of pocket because my health insurance provider doesn't have in network care (0, zip, nada). Now I understand why 2/3 of gun deaths are actually suicides.
Hi i really hope you are doing well and were able to find the help, treatments, and meds you need ❤
Holy Shit...
Why'd I even look at the comments section...
Why?
I have been trying to get competent mental health treatment for depression for years. I am an older white woman, but very poor. I can't imagine the nightmare it must be for those who are poor, not white and/ or non-English speaking, from what is perceived of as a minority ethnic group ( even though it I as an American of European descent who is a true minority, privileged even when living in poverty as being the "norm.") to even get taken seriously by the U.S. mental health system. It is systemic racism and ethnocentrism which forces non whites to feel that they must be stronger than strong/tougher than tough in order to take the burden they have been handed. Add on the classist economic exploitation of Global Capitalism, it is terrifying.
Interesting. I’m a white (i.e., light skinned) male-from a mixed family-and was offered a cocktail of psychiatric drugs or nothing. I was told that because I’m a guy, in a specific geographical location (I’m being told this by a female Indian medical student from the University of Washington), that I don’t qualify for any sort of chance to speak to a psychologist.
blaming everything on "culture" is a red herring
I have volunteered with NAMI for years and years. I recommend the organization NAMI for anyone who has or has a loved one with a mental illness. You can't see a mental illness but it is difficult for people who have a mental illness.
It also says women are more likely too but they ignore that
Get a therapist, check with your health insurance provider, see what mental health services are available, and get ya self the help you need, that's it.
Thnx for the upload !
water is wet
+EvoInterrupted are you serious right now
+EvoInterrupted don't even...
The experiment focused on men ... not women to clarify...She must have had a quick lapse in memory.
great video!
If you are lily white, Canadian born, but (and it's a huge but) poor in Canada, it's impossible to get funding for actual mental health professionals (eg. Psychologist or Certified University Educated Mental Health Professionals). Further, even serious special needs patients professionally diagnosed as children are aged out at 21, requiring thousands of inaccessible dollars for full updated diagnosis to qualify for any adult Govt. Mental Health programs. The only real access to Mental Health Canadians who aren't rich have lives in the propaganda of the Canadian Politicians. Poverty is a criminal offence in Canada, and 95% of serious mental health patients live in poverty... It's the Canadian Way!!!
How about in Africa or India ?

If you are not Arab in Qatar you are less likely to get mental health treatment or your passport in your possession
To get help you have to want it or you have to find it on your own. Nobody can help you if you don’t want it.
So call mental health professionals font take most especially young black men seriously when they come seeking for help for mental health
Most of us do -- *after* they've reached out in a way that prompts someone to do a psych eval and/or patient referral.
Unless you prefer we chase those young black men down so we can "fix" them (i.e. a white saviour complex).
May be your blessed'. mental health service medications can be and or dangerous to your health.
are they forgetting that most americans are white
Of course they are, they wouldn't be able to claim that it is some racially based disparity if they acknowledged the fact that Caucasians make up a majority of the population of the country and therefore would be more likely to make up a majority of the population when it comes to things like this.
Most of the things they talked about in this video that they claim are experienced by non whites, I have personally experienced when it comes to mental health and getting help, but I am white, so I guess I'm not really effected by it.
And they the ones that control everything in America. So everyone else is look down on
You're picking individual people to speak for Whole Groups of individual Ethnicities?Disgusting.
These are statistically factual evidence ? What do you mean??
And the most important piece that was conveniently left out, the racial wealth gap (legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, and ongoing job discrimination) means that most black people do not have adequate healthcare to cover mental health services.
Cry me a river. Did you know that some cultures and religions take " be a man" approach?
Your headline couldn’t be more off base. I’m a white woman with CPTSD who has been trying for years for the appropriate treatment-
And I’m a native. I see it the other way around! It’s rampant in CA. Come here if you’re not while! And the more kids you have is also evidently tied to ones value. Messed up.
This video didn't appear in my subscription bar. Thanks pooptube.
You never give any sources to back up your claims
You can compare experiences of black people and their treatment to those of other races. Stfu
If you are willing to work, you can get health insurance. U.p.s. gives free health insurance to part time and full time workers. U.p.s. will hire people straight out of prison. That is only 1 example. Stop making people think they are the victim and are helpless.
