Mental Health

High Levels of Mental Health Problems

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are more likely to experience mental health problems than heterosexuals. The problems usually start in adolescence, when we are trying to come to terms with our sexuality.

We found that members of GALYIC were much more likely than heterosexual young people to experience depression, anxiety, self harm, attempted suicide and phobias; other research has also found eating disorders to be a problem.
