Utah’s Hispanic community may be suffering from depression. The reason — perceived racism. It may lead not only to depression, but sleep problems as well. A new study by a Brigham Young University researcher said.



Though, previous studies have linked depression and sleep disorders, the new study looks at racism, sleep disorders and depression together. This study is made by BYU clinical psychologist, Patrick Steffen.



It is because those affected have difficulty determining where they fit in with other people, that the perceived racism causes depression. This is said by Monroe White, a clinical psychologist at the Mountainlands Community Health Clinic in Provo.
