Approximately 9.5% (16,595,00) of American adults aged 18 and over will experience a depressive illness (major depression, bipolar disorder, or dysthymia) each year. Women have nearly twice the likelihood of experiencing major depression compared to men. On the other hand, both men and women have an equal chance of developing bipolar disorder.However, most studies indicate that when Black individuals do experience depression, the condition tends to persist for a longer duration. Additionally, they may have a higher likelihood of co-occurring diagnoses such as addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.Racism and stigma within the mental health profession can exacerbate the impact of depression. Healthcare professionals and other providers tend to offer lower treatment rates for Black individuals with depression compared to their white counterparts.Sources: "Black Depression."
