🍃 When I was Misdiagnosed in 2018, my last words to the assessor were approximately: "I look forward to the day when systemic institutions & its assessors will recognize & factor the #GenerationalTrauma of Black Indigenous People in their assessments."

📌 I then engaged 2nd & 3rd assessments from divergent professionals that work in the best interest of Black Indigenous people & MentalHealth.

✅ Their assessment of me @ that time was, I'm an #Empath. I created a YouTube channel in 2019 as support for myself & Misdiagnosed Black Indigenous people to bring awareness & solutions.

🍃 Today I recognize I am #Sentient. #ClairSentience is my Medicine, one of my gifts/abilities, that has empowered my every step.

ℹ I understand #SystemicBias & #MedicalRacism & I will not allow its limitations to be contingent upon my autonomy to choose how I sustain my Mind/Body/Soul. #iChooseMe" - Iset 

"The #DSM5 generally does not account for cultural factors that influence symptomatology & diagnoses of cultural issues, racial discrimination or acculturation. Counseling, psychology & social work training hardly ever include voices of Black theorists, researchers & practitioners.

Emphasizing the importance of mental health care in the USA Black community, factors like racism, oppression & trauma can severely affect a person’s mental well-being & contribute to huge disparities in mental illness rates."- Healthline
