Pride Month is a time for acceptance and celebration. However, research shows that LGBTQ teens are at increased risk of suicide and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
teens are at increased risk of suicide and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
A Southern California therapist explained additional pressures like family rejection, bullying, and threats are contributing to this crisis. "There isn't as much protection, or even let alone celebration or embracing of these identities. There's still plenty of skepticism," said Sara Stanizai, LMFT. "The reason is because of how they are mistreated, how they are stigmatized, and their lack of support."
She continued to explain, "They are now being told they're not being supported at home sometimes, and now they're being told at school. Teachers are not allowed to use certain pronouns or something. The walls are closing in on a lot of these young people, and that is what's leading to the depression and the anxiety."
