Abstract: Due to their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, many LGBTQ+ people experience stigma, prejudice, and discrimination that can have a substantial detrimental impact on their mental health. Different manifestations of this prejudice include verbal abuse, physical assault, isolation, social rejection, and legal injustices. Discrimination may cause people to feel alone, ashamed, and low in self-esteem, which can exacerbate mental health issues like melancholy and anxiety.

In order to broaden the scope of the research, a thematically analyzed interview was also undertaken.
