You may be searching for information as you identify as LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer/questioning, intersex and asexual).
People who identify as LGBTQIA+ are more likely to experience mental health problems such as depression, anxiety or suicidal thoughts. This is due to a number of reasons, which include experiencing stigma, discrimination, social isolation or exclusion/rejection. There is help and support available if you are experiencing these feelings.
If you are experiencing any of these feelings, then please have a look around our site. We have information, advice and resources relating to a variety of common mental health problems such as self-harm, suicidal thoughts, depression, anger and eating disorders.
