- Dealing with private pain, in public plain.
Did you know that in the United States, over 10.3 million adults have serious thoughts of suicide and/or battle with mental health struggles privately while continuing to produce and perform publicly? Imagine living with a constant, lingering private struggle, while performing in front of the world. This is the truth for many in America.
Studies have shown that exposure to childhood maltreatment and job strain were risk factors for depression. This problem was especially pronounced within the black community, specifically Black women, who reported experiencing an overwhelming amount of these issues, concluding that their experiences are only exacerbated as a double minority in America.
In order to make meaningful change in rates of adult suicidal ideation, we as a nation must not only identify and address mental health conditions early, but must also invest in inclusive social and economic development. Social and economic anxiety have been observed as key elements and determinants of depression and suicidal ideation in Black women and all people of color.

Mental health is a serious issue. You can't change someone's childhood, but you can support them through difficult times :)
For me its people always wanting to recreate people's childhoods because they can. I don't think I'll ever get over my childhood and I don't know how that's going to pan out for me in the future. Everywhere I go or turn to its people trying hard to recreate my childhood at all times
Support these 🥜
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 yes ma mee too but you know what Jesus is the only way keep praying and relying on him your life will be more important and feeling fulfill in this life ❤❤
This is amazing, Dr. Keita! I can so relate to “Not stronger by choice...stronger by default”
We need to put ourselves first and break the cycle of making the women of our community carry everything. Self-care is vital!
Thank you! Yes, we have to take responsibility for self, 1st. We are NOT superwomen. It sounds like a compliment but it is NOT. Just because we allow someone to push us into an overwhelmed state of living, WE CAN SAY NO.
“Let’s run this race as one!!!” Speak thoroughly, Queen!!! 👸🏽✊🏾🙌🏾
this is so spot on. I pulled my hair until I had a bald spot when I was about 7...I grew up in a very abusive household 😞 .
Dr. Keita THANK YOU FOR THIS TED TALK! I needed this! I’m struggling with mental health currently. I went though a major battle inward before I even understood I needed help. Than another year before I ASKED for help…
She's looks and sounds incredible so inspiring!!
This is sooo underrated
That strong woman montrah weight is finally coming to bear. Maybe it's time to admit we're not as strong as we say. Its literally driving us insane.
exactly
I truly needed to hear this as a Psychology graduate and feeling overwhelmed and pressured to do something or everything at once with post graduate life. I have definitely been feeling overoverwhelmed especially with my own Podcast called "Simply Nickie Podcast " on anchorfm, Spotify , Google and Apple Podcast. I talk about mental health awareness, self care and love journey, etc. Even I too get overwhelmed and your video made me feel heard and seen. Thank you for this
So true and right on time. I really needed to hear this message in this moment!
This is absolutely WONDERFUL! Thank you, Dr. Joy for doing this awesome TED Talk!
Men Are Hit The Hardest😒
Mental health is a serious issue that shouldn't be ignored. Thanks for sharing it!
WOW! Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. You are EXTRAORDINARY!
Loved this entire video. I want to say thank you for sharing and providing so much insight!
Excellent presentation and great points with historical context. Thank you for shedding light on this topic, Dr Keita Joy!
“Strong by default” I know you felt this Queens!
Sending love, strength & light to all my sisters!
“When can we cry?” This is exactly how I feel 😭
For real!!
Thank you! Self care is so important!
What a great TED Talk a very much needed conversation!!!
Thank you so much for this🙏🏽❤️

Strong by default! Whew! Thanks for this!
We are not stronger by choice or DIE.
TRUTH.
Thank you for sharing !❤
Come on!!! Great and needed talk!!
This is absolutely great
What a wonderful introspective. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing, sad and true
Thank you so much for talking about this topic.
This IS FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WORLD EXPECTS US TO BE WONDER WOMAN AND WE HAVE PUT THIS PRESSURE ON OURSELVES.
Yaaasss KEITAJOY!!! 😍😍😍 Nothing but truth 🙌🏽❤️
Well more men commit suicide per year so it's not the truth really is it
Well said!
Who gave this a thumbs down 🙄??
Don’t even give it weight. We focus on the thumbs up!
This is what im dealing with.. im the one that saves the “family” im the one who everyone comes too for help.. to stay the night, to ask for a meal.. who people come too for a loan.. me Me me .. but no one comes to me or my aid or supports me ..
Same here! As a result, I’m planning to take a sabbatical within the next 18 months. I need a break.
FACTS!
Thanks
I'm a home health aid that has a lot on her plate and it keeps piling up..... I'm tired....I only have bike for transportation. No mom no dad both deceased.....seems like I always get the short end of the stick 😥
❤️
OK now you are the one who actually needs support. Poverty is hard.
This!
Strong strong strong. Just accept yourself. Then all the unnecessary stress will go away. No one is strong.
What about the weave abuse? What THAT IS DOING TO US?
Qualifying a thousand and one DNAs need my particular Enclave
This sounds like working at Amazon
😞
Wow
❤️
sure
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice
Of course this Ted talk video has less views
5th
I don't care how you take anything anymore cuz this is feeling is that you personally responsible
Ok.
Hey I'm going to qualify the looseness of that coincidence you are strong but check it out you also wrong so go ahead and judge the coincidence I have the weather say about balance of all those qualities even the plausibility of them makes way more sense to me that leaning anywhere to either of them at any given moment
Christ. English please
save shaniquas, baby mamas lives matter
Does she realize like she admitted our sisters are the one pushing the myth... why dont you just stop? She said herself she spent years pushing it, isn't it her job to stop? 🕺🏾👾👊🏾😎
Like she said, she IS strong - BUT - she’s a lot of other things too, which often get overlooked. My brother, you are one of those who are overlooking everything except for the strength comment. -Assuming that is what you’re referring to? Let’s not judge with bitterness and instead try to be sincerely helpful if at the very least not hurtful and bitter when we hear a sister cry out for help
We are not pushing the myth. I stated that we only had 2 choices...strength or death. We are now not only doing our own inner work but holding others accountable for how they interact with us and dismantling the toxic implicit bias that has hurt us for years. Thank you for watching my transparent, vulnerable talk full of truth and change needed.
My brother you missed the entire mark, but thanks for watching and engaging in the conversation.
Bear with me y'all I'm having a ruff day
@@dr.keitajoy5104 You're a straw man
This is BS. Just do less.
No one forces you guys to take on all that extra stuff. You said community, school, kids, church, work, and your husband. When really all you should be focused on is your husband and kids. I'd assume you both work and deal with the children so its not just you. Community and church should be tackled as an entire family not just you as a woman. Are you going to church by yourself? I doubt it. Lastly school is self inflicted. No one tells you to go to school. Thats more stress you added to your life
Wow
It's easier said than done, especially when you're not the one experiencing the pain. It's hard to shake off the feeling of worthlessness and undeservingness of help when others offer it. You might feel like a burden to those who have the resources to help. This feeling is particularly strong if it's the first time you're seeking help due to the stigma associated with it.
