This manuscript explores the depression disease management of Black Americans (N = 50) who post their experiences on YouTube. The narratives garnered five themes: (1) personal and national histories as a barrier to treatment and contributor to depression, (2) utilizing the social network as informal counseling and as the catalyst for formal counseling, (3) long-term undiagnosed depression management and mismanagement, (4) advocating to destigmatize and treat depression, and (5) positive experiences initiating and engaging in treatment. Novel findings include how participants discuss narratives in third person, the importance of the Youtube community, and advocacy to destigmatize and treat depression.
