Dr. Frederick Dare Brockington is an African American male, a mental health therapist, and has experienced burn trauma, verbal abuse, the loss of loved ones, and other traumatic experiences early in life. His book, Black Boy Anxiety - The Wounded Healer, explains how traumatic experiences impacted his mental health and his journey to achieve better mental health.
As an African American male, he also explores how the African American community views mental health illness. He also explains mental health terminology that may seem foreign to brown and black communities. His goal is to help minorities understand that mental health treatment is just as important as physical health.
This book starts with his personal story of what he believed triggered his mental health illness and a description of mental health.
"To anyone who can relate to me at any point while reading a book, I want you to know that whatever you are feeling and going through right now will be over if and only if you decide to cater to it timely, " says Dr Frederick Brockington.
