Video Summary
In this video, the presenter, Bishan Davis, discusses the impact of racism on psychosis for Black Americans. He discusses the pathways to care for individuals with psychosis and highlights the experiences, barriers, and delays in accessing care for Black Americans. Davis explains the historical context of how schizophrenia diagnoses shifted from white women to Black individuals in the 1960s and 70s due to changes in diagnostic criteria. He also emphasizes the disproportionate impact of psychosis on Black Americans, including higher rates of diagnosis, attendance and engagement in care, and treatment outcomes. Davis suggests several strategies to improve engagement in services for Black Americans, including developing relationships with stakeholders in the community, addressing structural barriers, using cultural formulation tools, and increasing workforce diversification. He also discusses the need to normalize the experience of engaging with services and reduce the stigma associated with psychosis. Davis concludes by highlighting the importance of individual-level interventions, such as trauma-informed care, addressing biases, and implementing flexible approaches to improve engagement and service delivery.
