Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed, Dr. Dawn Kamilah Brown.

She is a double-board certified child, adolescent, adult and sports Psychiatrist.  She discusses how the mental health landscape has changed over the past few years and the stigmas it still faces in the African American community. Even though May is designated “Mental Health Awareness” month in the United States, the discussions on mental health can’t just begin and end in the month of May. Tune in today as Dr. Dawn Brown takes us on a journey that is sure to open your eyes and make you see how you can recognize and manage mental health issues that crop up in your daily life.  She is the owner, CEO, and sole practitioner at ADHD Wellness Center and has two private practice locations in Texas and Founder and CEO of Mental Healthletics PLLC ™ and serves as the company’s Sports Psychiatrist for elite (and retired) athletes of college and national sports organizations. She also serves as a psychiatrist for four clinics in Texas and Illinois, and she has a growing virtual presence that offers online appointments. She is a pioneer of the Mental Health Movement and a nationally recognized two-time #1 best-selling author, Forbes writer, ADHD coach, mental health expert, public speaker, and professional mentor.

Dr. Brown is originally from Flint, Michigan. She earned her doctorate degree and completed her Residency in General/Adult Psychiatry in just three years at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. She furthered her education by completing an additional two-year
fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Menninger Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.
