People in the LGBTQIA community can face unique mental health challenges. In keeping with our mission to expand mental health care access to everyone, Ada Psychiatry does not discriminate against members of the LGBTQIA community or their families.
People in this community experience high rates of certain mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, traumatic disorders, and depression. Discrimination in various settings is a major contributor to this problem. The antidote is for people in the LGBTQIA community to have safe, inclusive spaces and supportive people in their lives.In addition to high rates of mental health disorders, some members of the LGBTQIA community live with mental health conditions that are specific to the community.
