Oakland rapper and entrepreneur Mistah F.A.B. first opened up publicly about his struggle with debilitating anxiety more than two weeks ago. On Wednesday, he took it to another level.
“It was like ‘yo, I know I can’t be the only person going through it,’” he said. “Now let me be the voice for the voiceless, let me be the voice of the village.”“There’s a misnomer that Black men are the group that utilizes therapy the least,” said Dr. Bedford Palmer, a psychologist in Oakland. “[But there’s] high need. I constantly have people who I have to turn away because I don’t have enough space.
Palmer said what is also true. The compounding complications for Black men when it comes to parsing out what’s happening with their mental health. “So you have depression or anxiety that are biological components that go with that but then there tends to be outside forces that can make that even more difficult so you might be dealing with depression or anxiety but you’re also dealing with racism at work,” he said. But he does it for those who can’t.
“That little boy that mother never hugged him daddy put the block before him,” he said. “Nobody about them, nobody representing for them.”
