LGBT health

LGBT health refers to the specific health needs and challenges faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. These can include higher rates of mental health issues, substance use, and certain physical health concerns due to factors like discrimination, stigma, and social isolation. Access to healthcare can also be limited, as some providers may not be knowledgeable about LGBT issues. It’s important for healthcare systems to understand these unique challenges to offer appropriate support and create a welcoming environment for everyone, ensuring equitable health outcomes. Addressing LGBT health promotes overall well-being for a diverse society.
