Background. Lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people appear to be at greater risk than heterosexual people of mental disorders and suicidal behaviour [1,2].LGB people are subject to institutionalised prejudice, social stress, social exclusion (even within families) and anti-homosexual hatred and violence and often internalise a sense of shame about their sexuality [1,2].
The study authors suggest that worse mental health in bisexual women than in lesbians may be due to more negative social attitudes towards bisexuality compared with lesbian and gay identity. Symptoms of poor mental health (e.g. anxiety, depression) and low wellbeing (e.g.
not having ‘positive mental health’) are common in the adult population but there is established evidence that adults who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual are at higher risk of experiencing these symptoms than adults who identify as heterosexual.
Drawing on minority stress theory, this study examined the mental health effects of the added burden of disadvantaged social status in an Israeli sample of self‐identified lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youths.
Bisexuality was associated with lower levels of well‐being, and, at a younger age, with higher levels of mental distress.

Meyer Columbia University In this article the author reviews research evidence on the prevalence of mental disorders in lesbians, gay.Mental health problems such as depression or self-harm can affect any of us, but they're more common among people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT).
