Boston (DbTechNo) – If you are gay or lesbian, chances are you are at an increased risk of needing mental health services.
This is the finding of a new study by researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles.
They analyzed data from the California Health Interview Survey on more than 2000 people and compared the sexual minorities and associated mental health treatments.
They found that 48% of sexual minorities reported receiving mental health treatment over the last year.
They say that their findings are true because people who are gay are at increased risk of facing discrimination and violence, which can lead to increased stress.
According to their finding, heterosexual men were the least to seek mental health treatment.
The study was published Friday in the journal BMC Psychiatry.
Well it’s clear to me that some great minds working long hours really out did themselves to come up with this conclusion. And the benefits are incredible. Small minded people everywhere who are afraid of gays and lesbians can now say “see those gays and lesbians are mentally ill!” You guys are awesome. Well done.
What’s your next big leap, to determine that minorities are more likely to end up in prison because they are inherently morally weaker than the morally superior white person?
I can’t wait to see your reports on other critical research of the 21st century.
Makes sense. The broader society persecutes gays and lesbians on all levels. Bullying them. Bullying tends to have an effect on the bullied.
