Black and Blue: Depression in the African-American Community is an educational videotape that addresses the unique concerns of African Americans. It features African Americans who have experienced depression, health professionals, and a minister. Produced and directed by Annelle Primm, M.D., there are two versions available - 9 and 16 minutes. There are also looped versions of the 16 and 9 minute videos. The videotape provides information on symptoms and treatment of depression, emphasizes the importance of early recognition and treatment, and increases awareness of the negative consequences of untreated depression. Black and Blue addresses cultural beliefs by presenting messages about depression being a medical illness, spirituality being a component of healing for depression, but not a replacement for professional treatment, and the usefulness of antidepressant medications. The videotape also provides information about where to get help.
