Trump's Presidency Linked to LGBT Mental Distress, study finds

The study: The rise in extreme mental distress among LGBT people during Trump’s rise and presidency

The linked study in the journal Economics and Human Biology found that extreme mental distress increased among LGBTQ people (or GSM–gender and sexual minorities) during Trump's ascension and consequent presidency. Extreme mental distress as defined in this study means reporting poor mental health every day for the past 30 days.

"This study found that the 'extreme mental distress gap' between LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ people “increased from 1.8 percentage points during 2014–2015 to 3.8 percentage points after Trump’s presidency became a real possibility in early 2016.” Even seemingly small increases in extreme distress are important, the study notes, because such distress is not common."
