Mental Health Issues in LGBTQ
- As the pride month comes to an end, let’s not forget the mental health challenges the LGBTQ individuals have to face.
- LGBTQ individuals are more than twice as likely as heterosexuals to have a mental health disorder in their lifetime.
- They are 2.5 times more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and substance misuse compared to heterosexual individuals.
- LGBTQ individuals have higher rates of mental health service use than their heterosexual counterparts.
- The rate of suicide attempts is four times in LGBTQ.
- LGBTQ older adults face a number of unique challenges, including the combination of anti-LGBTQ stigma and ageism.
- Being LGBTQ Is NOT a mental disorder and it does not imply any impairment in judgment, stability, reliability, or general social or vocational capabilities.
