Sexual Minorities and Depression

Studies have consistently shown that the rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide are high in the LGBTQ+ community.

Studies have also shown that kids and teens experiencing gender dysphoria and/or questioning their sexual orientation are more vulnerable to depression. 

People in sexual minority groups often lack equitable access to health care, including mental health services. While they may begin in youth, these disparities can persist into adulthood.
