Earlier this month, the Canadian Men's Mental Health Report was released. The results of the study revealed that the risk of moderate-to-high depression in gay and bisexual men is 28%, and their risk of moderate-to-high anxiety is 45%, which is significantly higher than in heterosexual men, whose risk is 18% and 30% for depression and anxiety, respectively. This June is Pride Month, as well as Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, so it is important to acknowledge how the two awareness campaigns could work together to address the clear disparity in mental health awareness among gay and bisexual men. Please have a read of my expert insight this month to find out more. #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealth #pridemonth #GlobalData

Hi. Unfortunately this is all too true. I work with gay men and the effect of internalised homophobia should never be underplayed. It leads to shame and can even be a factor in suicide.
