Overview: white norms and psychiatric diagnosis of black patients
VR Adebimpe
Allegations of psychiatric misdiagnosis of black patients are supported by
only a few examples of such errors, but there is a modest body of
circumstantial evidence suggesting that black patients run a higher risk of
being misdiagnosed than white patients. The author reviews the studies
providing such evidence and concludes that greater awareness among
clinicians and research into more appropriate diagnostic criteria for black
patients are desirable.
