After watching an episode of Grown-ish, I began to put more consideration into how mental health is discussed and regarded. That episode opened my eyes to how desensitized we’ve come to mental illness, within the medical world and general society. Barris’ episode of Grown-ish illustrated how many factors come into play, specifically culture. I’ve known that there are disparities between races in terms of treatment, but I began to question what caused those disparities. This thought process is what led me to question and research the relationship between culture and mental health.
