The traumatizing role of microaggressions, systemic oppression, and racial terrorism has profound effects on the black community. Research has linked racism to a host of impairments, including serious psychological distress, physical health problems, depression, and anxiety.
Abuse – physical, sexual, and emotional – is traumatic for a child and will affect brain development. It can continue to be impactful throughout adulthood. Some of those traumatic experiences include:
Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can continue after traumatic events. Sometimes trauma is virtually unnoticeable even to the person's closest friends and family. This highlights the importance of talking to someone after a traumatic event has occurred, even if they show no initial signs of disturbance.
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we experience in our lives. Depression symptoms take many forms, and no two people’s experiences are exactly alike.
