Likes: High socioeconomic status (SES) may make young African American patients more likely to experience perceived discrimination when seeking medical treatment, which in turn may contribute to their risk for major depressive disorder (MDD), according to a new study.http://www.mdmag.com/medical-news/so...american-youth“That is, African Americans who have high SES, and do not expect discrimination and are less prepared to handle it, are hit harder when they get discriminated against. Thus, it is not just exposure, but also vulnerability, that explains high risk of depression in high SES African Americans.”
