Biden Administration Study Finds Lesbian, Gay, And Bisexual Americans More Likely To Suffer From Major Depression
The Biden Administration’s 2021 and 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that members of the lesbian, gay, and bisexual demographics are more likely to suffer from mental health disorders than other demographics.
The researchers who developed the report didn’t bother to figure out why these demographics suffer more, just that they do. Rates of major depression, abuse of illegal drugs, suicidal ideation, are six times higher than other demographics. But without knowing precisely why, it is impossible to help these groups find the Light.
“A higher prevalence of substance use and mental health issues has been well-documented among people who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (also referred to as sexual minorities) than among those who identify as heterosexual or straight,” the report states.

How Can You Help Your Mental Health Today?
Throughout seemingly all research, individuals who choose to engage with the Bible, their faith, and their families, have some of the highest rates of positive mental health. Our social connections are also a huge part of what makes us happy, as an 85-year-long Harvard study revealed:
- Safety and Security — who would you call upon in a crisis in the middle of the night?
- Learning and Growth — who evokes a light inside you that pushes you to evolve?
- Emotional Closeness — who can you confide in about anything? Who protects you when you’re vulnerable?
- Identity Affirmation and Shared Experiences — who helps you become more secure in your experiences and identity?
- Romantic Intimacy — even if you’re not married or in a relationship, who is always available to be at your side?
- Help — who do you turn to when you’re in need of support?
- Fun and Relaxation — who brings you joy?
He is always with you. He will always guide you. He will never leave your side.
Whether it’s your family, your community, your spouse, or your relationship with God, you are never alone. Together, we can fight to protect marriage, our community.
