Lesbian, gay and bisexual people are more than twice as likely as heterosexuals to have a long-term mental health condition, an analysis of NHS data suggests.
They are also more likely to drink heavily and smoke, the report says.
About 2% of people said they were lesbian, gay or bisexual in the 2011-18 Health Survey for England.
The findings "confirm well-established health inequalities for LGB people", say rights groups.
Of the adults surveyed over the eight years, 1,132 or 2%, identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual. Participants weren't asked about trans status or gender identity, but this is being considered for future surveys.
About 16% of LGB respondents reported having a long-term mental or behavioural disorder, compared with 6% of heterosexual adults.
LGB people also reported lower average mental well-being scores than heterosexual people, with LGB women having the lowest score of all groups.
They were also more likely to drink more than the recommended units of alcohol.
One-third of LGB adults drank more than 14 units of alcohol a week, an amount which "put them at increased or higher risk of alcohol-related harm", compared with a quarter of heterosexual people.
The proportion of people who drank no alcohol was similar among white people of different sexualities, but among ethnic minority communities, LGB people were more likely than heterosexuals to drink.
LGB people were also significantly more likely to smoke. This includes one in three LGB women, compared with one in six heterosexual women.

Yeah. Kind of a neat hat trick how they left out the T, eh? Because pretending to be the opposite sex is the most sane thing on can possibly do. Especially if it involves mutilating yourself and taking massive amounts of hormones your body was not built for.
What could go wrong?
So are schizophrenics 🤪
No $hit, Sherlock!
“Only 2% are LGBTQIDIOTs? Based on the TV shows & movies coming out, I would have guessed it was 25%”
Based on the TV Commercials the same. As well as a 50% AA population and 35% Interracial marriages. Company’s are climbing over each other to be the most woke damn the actual statistics.
“...And it’s your fault”
*****
Going to be a huge narrative one day, killing them with shame. Illegal to call it a sin.
They have bent brain syndrome. It’s just bent.
“More likely”, I thought the fact that they were LGBQT indicated they have mental issues?
The “LGBTQ” stuff used to be properly viewed as symptoms of underlying mental and emotional problems. Therapists can’t treat these things anymore because they’ll lose their licenses and in some cases get jail time.
The consequence is that LGBTQ people are going to therapy, they’re told they’re just fine, and they’re sent on their way.
And ever since ‘acceptance’ was mandated the suicide rate for these poor souls has gone up 600% to 1000%.
‘more likely to have mental health issues’
Odd sentence structure. Written in the future tense as though it might happen.
Football players are more likely to wear helmets.
This is an amazing discovery!
Breaking: Study finds mentally ill people more likely to exhibit mental illness.
It’s the white man’s fault.
Really? Wow just wow! /smirk
Yah think?
title is wrong...
should state “lgb people have mental issues”...
You don’t say!
The whole group is mentally ill...
I’m not judging them, BTW, I’m diagnosing them.
LGB?
Whatever happened to the T?
And the Left has convinced younger generations that it’s because they’re bullied. And it’s a hate crime to think otherwise.
LGB people exist.
They are exactly as God made them.
What they lack is support and acceptance from society. You all.
I’m not talking about the activists!
Beautiful people.
Open your hearts.
