For today's episode, we're partnering with Mid IQ,

an accredited medical education company that provides an exceptional educational experience

for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals to raise awareness around

depression. This partnership was made possible by a grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA Incorporated

and Lundbeck. You'll remember that in session 4, am I really depressed? We talked about how easy

it might be for black women to miss the signs of depression because of cultural and societal norms.

Mid IQ hopes to help change some of this by making the general public more aware of the symptoms

of depression and how to reach out for help when necessary. Here's where we need your help.

To get a better sense of what you already know about depression, we have a brief survey for you to

complete. The survey shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes, and upon completion, you will be

entered into a drawing to win one of $1,100 Visa gift cards. You can find the survey at therapyforblackgirls.com,

Backslash, Mid IQ, and of course all of this information will be included in the show notes for your

reference. Thank you so much in advance for your help with this very important project to raise

awareness about depression. Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, where we discuss all things

mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best

possible versions of ourselves. I'm your host, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed psychologist in

Atlanta, Georgia. To get more information and resources, visit the website at therapyforblackgirls.com,

and while I hope you love listening to and learning from the podcast, it is not meant to be a

substitute for a relationship with a licensed mental health professional.
