All in the Mind

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Dr Raj Persaud concludes a special examination into the way African and Caribbean people are treated in the mental health system. In the late 70s, research showed that African and Caribbean people suffered severe disadvantage in the mental health system: they were more likely to be diagnosed as schizophrenic, more likely to be forcibly taken to hospital by the police and more likely to be given drugs than counselling. Dr Persaud asks why so many black people are still facing discrimination and what the Government and Royal College of Psychiatrists are doing about it. Repeated from yesterday at 9pm
