LGBTQ+ health refers to the physical and mental well-being of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or other diverse orientations and identities. It recognizes that LGBTQ+ people may face specific health challenges, such as higher risks for mental health issues, discrimination, and barriers to healthcare access. Addressing these concerns involves providing respectful, inclusive medical care, promoting mental health support, and tackling social factors that impact well-being. Ensuring LGBTQ+ health equity means understanding and meeting their unique needs to support overall vitality and quality of life.
