Black and White Mental Health Disparities in NYC: How Nao Medical Can Help

Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, yet it is often overlooked or stigmatized. In New York City, mental health disparities exist between different racial and ethnic groups, with Black individuals facing a disproportionate burden of mental health issues.

According to the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Black individuals are more likely to experience psychological distress, have suicidal thoughts, and attempt suicide compared to White individuals. Additionally, Black individuals are less likely to receive mental health treatment and more likely to receive inadequate care.

At Nao Medical, we recognize the importance of addressing these disparities and providing accessible, high-quality mental health services to all individuals. Our team of therapists and psychologists specialize in a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. We offer same-day appointments, minimal wait times, and a compassionate and empathetic approach to care.
