The Washington Post (3/22, Liu) reports that over the past year, “the number of hate incidents against Asians has surged and has left the community feeling under siege. And in the face of cultural as well as systemic barriers, many Asian Americans and Asian immigrants are struggling with the constant emotional onslaught.” Furthermore, they “face some traditions that discourage speaking up and turning to mental health resources.” The Post says that “although the numbers of Asians experiencing anxiety and depression is rising, Asians in the United States access mental health care at half the rate of other racial groups, according to a 2019 study published by the American Psychiatric Association.”
