Hi, I was wondering if we can get a section for people who develop mental health issues due to issues with resolving racial identity. I am writing because I am a biracial black/white man, and I have reason to believe that many of my mental health issues were caused by my denial of my race. I think from what I see, cultural and ethnic issues in mental health are often overlooked. I was in therapy for 11 years and none of my clinicians cought this. Sadly, I had to figure this out all on my own. I would really appreciate a forum for biracials and mental health, because I think it is a big issue in the society we live in today. At the very least, these issues can cause chronic depression, low self-esteem, and even more serious issues such as mood disorders. I would appreciate your consideration of this important issue. Thank you
