LGBTQ

LGBTQ community bound together by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities. The LGBTQ community in India lives life in the shadow of darkness. We have all heard of the stigma that comes in associating with the community whether as a member or supporter. But the major concern is How far people go to understand the nuances of family dynamics that come due to social prejudices, the oppressive legalities and disruptive protective services and their potential devastating impact on the community. Despite rapidly growing cultural acceptance of sexual and romantic orientations but gender identification and marginalization of LGBTQ people still persists. The discrimination, oppression, family in the face of social expectations, pressure lead to higher levels of depression, anxiety, substance use, and other mental concerns for LGBTQ people. Research shows that youth who identified as LGBTQ are at high risk of suicidal ideation and self-harm, particularly when they experience social discrimination from the society on the basis of their sexual and gender identity. According to 2017 survey students who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender were almost ten times as likely to have experienced bullying and victimization at school and more than twice as likely to have considered suicide.

Perceived discrimination or the expectation of discrimination leads to diminished mental health. Harassment as well as discrimination with regards to housing, employment, education and sometimes basic human rights lead to an ongoing erosion of self worth. The lack of acceptance and hollow opportunities lead them to experience traumatic events leaving them feel alienated, and unwanted. All couples argue over many of the same things- money, sex, the in laws, quality time and all people are subjected to daily stressors, such as mood swings and low self-esteem. People considering gender confirmation surgery are required to seek therapy, therapists can help them decide whether surgery will be a fruitful option and prepare them for the worst case scenarios. Early editions of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual(DSM) identified homosexuality as a mental disorder, until clinical research demonstrated, sexual or romantic attraction to someone of same gender is normal, healthy, positive form of human sexuality. Finding an LGBT therapist is as rare as finding a needle in the haystack, social dilemmas and moral policing in a world makes it difficult to access mental health. Finding meaningful support is always important to a person’s mental health and overall well-being.
