N2  - With a growing understanding of how racism negatively affects the mental health of patients, mental health professionals are as anxious to act as they are uncertain  about the best path forward. This uncertainty persists even though thoughtful,  actionable antiracist recommendations in psychiatry were made 50 years ago. Mental  health professionals can take several antiracist actions, including acknowledging  individual and structural racism through an examination of racist policies, to  achieve mental health equity. The mental health field must take these actions  collectively so that history does not continue to repeat itself.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
