EFFECTS

 Discrimination produces immense effects in psychological,


social, political, and economic domains.
 The effects are compounded by the loss of self-worth, a sense
of alienation from the wider society, political
disempowerment, and economic inequalities.
 When discrimination is experienced repeatedly it leads to
increased depressive symptoms and poorer physical health.
 Even the feeling can lead to more chronic illness, possibly
through the activation of stress response systems or changes
in health behavior.

 Indeed, exposure to racial and ethnic discrimination is perceived as traumatic
and stressful which leads to anxiety, feelings of hopeless and helplessness,
and depressive symptoms.

experiencing discrimination at individual level.

functioning in other domains like office stress effects family relationships.
