LGBTQ individuals are more likely to face mental health problems. According to a recent study, 36% of people have anxiety disorders, 45% have PTSD, and 61% have depression. In addition, 40% of transgender people have tried suicide at some point in their lives.
The reasons why there are higher rates of mental health issues among LGBT+ people are complex. There are many experiences that LGBT+ people will often have to deal with as a minority community, such as stigma, prejudice, and discrimination.
