African Americans patients account for just 5% of clinical trial participants in the United States and hardly ANY clinical research studies were done that included African Americans.

I'm constantly reminding Dr Song of this fact ... she's got a doctorate degree but that doesn't mean she knows shit about the African American plight or any psych data because there hardly is any.

She says things like ... "She's not depressed and doesn't present as depressed but she has a lot of anger and self reports being angry at herself."
And I said ... is this woman Black? And she was like how did you know?

White male centered date with a healthy dose of RACISM as well ... there, fixed it for you ❤️
