While much of the current conversation has focused on racism within the criminal-legal system, institutional racism also exists elsewhere, including psychiatry.
I’ve written a few posts about this topic in the past:
Here’s one from 2017 that discusses “drapetomania“.
In 2018 I wrote about the use of race in advertisements for antipsychotic medication.
I also wrote about the intersections of race, jail, and psychiatry in 2017.
