Statement of Need:
The benefits of ongoing medical advances are often denied to patient populations whose access to care is limited due to race, ethnicity, education, and other socioeconomic parameters. This is especially true with regard to mental health services, where suboptimal care may result from stigma and metabolically mediated differences in response to treatment, especially among underserved populations. Furthermore, a recent study identified "cumulative adversity" as a risk factor for developing a depressive or anxiety disorder, and looked at its prevalence among specific ethnic groups. How can clinicians address and surmount these and other challenges posed by race and ethnicity? In this evidence-based psychCME TV activity, the experts will frame the societal, metabolic, racial, and ethnic issues that affect the optimal treatment of mental illness.
