Racial identity is a complex construct that generally refers to how one defines his or her race, and how strongly one feels he or she belongs to it. Having an identity that is stigmatized yet highly salient to a person can be problematic in that people of color may be at risk of psychological distress due to experiences of racism, unequal treatment, and anxiety about future experiences of discrimination. Nonetheless, positive feelings of ethnic affirmation and belonging, appreciation for one’s ethnic identity, and increased ethnic behaviors have been identified as factors contributing to resilience and coping in African Americans. Research alludes to a strong, positive racial identity having a protective effect on the risk for developing depression; however, the nature and prevalence of depression in Black college-educated women has largely been understudied in the U.S., particularly in regard to women who have completed college or are of middle and high SES. The present study sought to explore the nature of depression and prevalence of depressive symptoms as it relates to Black women in conjunction with racial identity and education level using a sample of 167 African American women. Specifically, it was hypothesized that 1) education would negatively correlate with depression, 2) positive racial identity would negatively correlate with depression, and 3) the combination of a strong, positive racial identity and African American social network would more accurately predict lower depression better than positive racial identity alone. While Hypotheses 1 and 3 were not supported, Hypothesis 2 found support in a strong negative correlation between depression and racial regard, one of the three dimensions of the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity. Results indicate that women who hold positive views toward themselves as Black people and perceive others as doing the same are at lower risk for developing depression. This connection indicates the importance of racial socialization and how fostering cultural pride can influence positive mental health outcomes in people of color.

Though African Americans are less likely to be diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), when they are, it is more chronic, severe, and they are less likely to undergo treatment in comparison to Whites (Williams et al., 2007). Also, while there is growing research emphasizing the importance of religion in the lives of Blacks there remains little to be known about how to integrate religion and mental health treatment. Due to the nuances involved in being Christian and African American the medical and mental health providers are lacking an understanding of how best to work with this subgroup. The purpose of this study is to explore the lived experiences of Christian African American women who are depressed and inquire about their relief seeking efforts across their medical (mental health), religious and informal sources. In order to best meet the mental health needs of African American women with depression it is imperative to first understand the cultural nuances that make up the person in order to incorporate all aspects of their identity into treatment. Nine women were interviewed and the data was analyzed from a transcendental phenomenological perspective (Moustakas, 1994). The results of the study indicate those who felt comfortable sharing their spiritual beliefs with their medical providers were also more open to medical treatment and more likely to report satisfying treatment overall. The findings highlight important knowledge in providing culturally relevant care to the mental health needs of this subgroup.

Depression does not discriminate, and yet the ways in which people and communities view and react to depression differ. The unique experiences of African Americans are often taken into account when examining other topics of interest, but mental health in general is often overlooked. African Americans and Depression helps to uncover the realities of depression among African Americans, and the various ways in which sufferers and their families address, or don’t address, it. The authors provide guidance for understanding the illness, suggestions on how to heal and recover holistically, and pathways for getting help. With a primary focus on the psychological and medical needs of African Americans, the authors explore and offer an overview of clinical depression among African Americans, discuss the signs of and cultural myths surrounding clinical depression, outline the mental health help-seeking process for African Americans, and suggest potential barriers and strategies for healing. Further, they discuss community-based interventions and innovations in service programs. Lastly, the authors offer insight on mental health and health policy in the United States care systems. Including firsthand accounts from sufferers and families, this work will aid readers to better understand depression and how and where to find help.
