Additionally, studies have shown that the clinical presentation of signs and symptoms varies among African American teenagers.[1] Clinicians underdiagnosed depression in African Americans adolescents due to little education about variance in symptoms of depression that black youth express.[2] Research has shown African American youth are more likely to use stronger language to describe their symptoms of depression when compared to white youth.[3] This has led clinicians to misunderstand the choice of words African American youths use to describe depression as aggression and irritability and not hopelessness and sadness, causing an underdiagnosed in depression among African American adolescents.[4]

Adolescent African Americans have been documented to be less likely to discuss depression with their provider due to religious reasons whereby they believe a higher-power protects them through adverse experiences and that it should not be discussed with their provider.[5]
