""Associated experiences such as anti-LGBTQ+ victimization, including bullying, discrimination, threats of violence, and conversion therapy, as well as the impact of recent anti-LGBTQ+ politics, meaningfully contribute to the negative mental health outcomes observed among this population.""
""Given the current climate in our country, it comes as no surprise that many LGBTQ+ young people are reporting high rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidality.""
""Similar to previous research, this national survey demonstrates that LGBTQ+ youth experience these negative mental health outcomes not because of who they are, but because of how they are mistreated by others.""
The Trevor Project's annual survey reveals that anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and hostile political rhetoric contribute to severe mental health issues among LGBTQ+ youth. In 2025, one in ten LGBTQ+ youth attempted suicide, with 36% seriously considering it. Trans and nonbinary youth are particularly affected, with those unable to access hormone therapy at a higher risk of suicide. The survey indicates that negative mental health outcomes stem from mistreatment rather than the identities of LGBTQ+ individuals.
