There are differences between different orientation in terms of mental health. For example, bisexual men and women experience higher rates of depression and anxiety compared with lesbian women and gay men. This is potentially because bisexual men and women experience stimga and discrimination from both heterosexual and LG (lesbian and gay) communities, as well as transgender communities. They also may have reduced support networks to cope with discrimination, as they often report lower levels of perceived belongingness to the queer community.
