Taraji P. Henson on Mental Health (C-SPAN) 

Agree

This is great yo.

Right because she has a college degree. And started acting at 26.

Right

Im not suffering

PERIOD 😔

I have truly suffered.. until I made up in my mind. If no longer have to.. my life is in my hands, not the hands of another, especially ones who hv not learned to become healthy~

So true she nailed it

I felt that

What's affecting us is poor diet. Look at all the chemicals in the foods and how they interact and disrupt our system and then you'll know why all this stuff is happening. We all need a wakeup call! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CfLz5pUytm8.html&feature=share

Becky - Boo you sound like you need mental health services with your paranoid self!

Becky - Boo wtf is wrong you? She’s a black woman

WE don't seek help? Yes we do! ..I'm not saying it isn't ok to seek outside help..but to make this a black problem? Nope! we are a FAMILY oriented people who talk to our AUNTIES, FRIENDS UNCLES, BIG COUSINS Ect. Black folk have been through heLL..and still in this hellous country !..but what We are not..is THE posterpeople of the mentally ill..I know they hope they pushed us to it..but sorry...we are stronger than that ! The problem isn't BLACKS ..it's the terror our children are suffering from RACIST ! Don't TALK around it..talk ABOUT it!!! .We operated as a village of people who looked out for one and the other! ....But we were sabatoged!( we all know the stories) . However, we STILL..talk to our FAMILY about OUR Problems ! not a stranger charging 100 PLUS an hour....one is free and none stigmatizing ..the other is ...This is just another ATTEMPT to brand black folk with ISSUES OTHERS have.! the mentally UNSTABLE label that is obviously due for all these white folk who continue shooting up schools , offices, killing innocent people in grocery stores, running people over, shooting folk in the sanctity of their churches, killing groups of people at concerts and parks, who are all ...just MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS!.....but WE are the mentally ill?!..No our issues are simply the symptoms of fighting for and or living in, a nation FULL OF HATEFUL PEOPLE WHO HAVE DESTROYED OUR PEOPLE AND CONSTANTLY SEEK TO DO US THE SAME DAY AND NIGHT SEEKING WHOM HE ..OR SHE MAY DESTROY!!

thank you!

@Brian J. ❤

Well said

Maybe a hospital bed..is not what they need.. like Mom have you hugged your child to day?

Did you put the note in the lunch box or where they could see it? As a reminder. Hey kiddo I love you still.. have a great day on my behalf 💓💓

@@janelleallen6934 , some children have real mental issues. That is why teachers are walking out of schools. Some public schools are purely institutions.

My city faces this problem. The government closed one hospital institution that provided services to profoundly disabled people (mental retardation) and minimize the other institution that served people with mental illness. The youths have no where to go and outpatient services are not enough for some of the youths, especially when their home are dysfunctional.

We fight so much on race color power money all these tactics children is growing up too fast so we parents and people need to grow up to save our babies. we forgot them and left them behind#they are our future🕊

Me too! I understand this too well.

Same here and it's no joke.

I pray all of you find peace.

Me too. I did some dumb shit because i was depressed and suffered from anxiety. I reached out to the wrong people trying to find my way. People who led me into more chaos.

Depression and anxiety is serious and if people are suffering from it they should check into a hospital.

Same I been through so much depression as well because of my parents and etc.

Taraji is a transgender! He don't help our community, dumbfuKzz! All you dumb mofos. Ya just like Steve Harveys' ass!

Taraji isn't a transwoman, but even if she was, why would that be a problem? She's using her voice for Good. She's fighting to get kids the help they need.

@@melsyoutube Tarajii has not narry a connection with our community, Mel! None of your IDOLS DO!! NONE OF THEM!..NONE. Do you see ANY change it the STATUS of Black cooper-colored Americans? The change you are seeking is NOT in worship of stars because they profess some scripted BS you holler A..man to! Your comment is ignorant!!

my comment was very calm and fact-based. I stated that taraji is a biological woman, not a transwoman. I also asked why it would be a problem if she was trans, which you failed to answer. Nothing I said was ignorant, but your comments are, and they're also filled with anger. I pray you find peace and I pray you have some type of positive impact on the community you claim to care about. Also, I don't have any "idols." These people are just humans who are using their status to try and bring some positive change, which I think is great. Jaden smith just built a water filtrating and filling centre in Flint. Robert Smith paid off $5 million worth of student debt. Beyoncé donated $2 million worth of scholarships to HBCU students and helped pay for homes and repairs after the Texas hurricane. Jay Z has bailed out several black men and paid for their legal teams. Robert Downey JR has started a nanotech company to help clean up the environment and tackle waste. Ellen degeneres has paid for several people's homes and school tuitions. Rihanna has a specialist centre for cancer in Barbados. The list goes on and on. There are people in the world capable of doing good, who continue to make positive changes for those less fortunate.

@@melsyoutube Nothing these "rulers" do is for or of benefit to the copper-colored indigenous peoples of North America! They are taking us down like ducks in a damned row. YOu practice idolatry relying on an "actor" for truth! Please do not respond because there is no thing of value you have to offer with your misguided opinion. 🤔🤨😐😑🙄

It's called post traumatic slave disorder it was passed down from generation to generation dr. Joy degruy explains it well

I felt like that 2day trying 2 put in applications so tru pray 4 me u tube commentators

Stephanie Drake its not white supremacy its anti social personality disorders going on in the black community.

Faith and works bruh

Joe Jones ~ are you going to be saying, "WOW," if they throw you into a mental institution for.....🤔jay-walking (just an example, but you should get my point). ---- You all better wake up!

ah I’m praying for you sweetie ❣️

@@peacefullyliving8949 thank you. It seems like itll be approved but my mom will literally be SOOO angry when she finds out she needs to be in a nursing home again. She's not even 50. But she has a brain disease that makes her mental health worse n causes seizures n strokes.

Where bout?

@Angoche Island please don't misunderstand her message we are really all one Golden Rule

@Angoche Island i think i understand your point there are some of us who believe we all come from the same energy source it's also called universal consciousness our energies are connected i know this is far out stuff but if you get into meditation it may help you and others to cope with what we think is reality wishing you the best in life and thank you for your comment

I hate when people do this , She is addressing her own people and their issues and here you coming talking about all people

@@thinkabout288 there are key differences in cultures between all racial demographics. These differences play a role in your overall mental health and the way you perceive and cope with the world and life. She's not saying that only black people have issues. She's saying that it's easier for a black mental health professional to help a black mental health patient because they are more likely to understand the cultural aspects of their life and are able to relate to the patient on topics that others would not. It only makes sense to have someone helping you who is able to better understand you. This is the same for all races and ethnicities. It's easier to understand where you come from if i come from that same place. Yall took this and turned it into something that it never was in the first place 🤦🏾‍♂️

She was just giving examples from her own personal experiences that's all

👍

I can't agree more, well said
