Research has found that LGBTQ+ teens in the US face high rates of suicidality, with some studies indicating that one in ten attempted suicide in the past year. The risk of suicide among LGBTQ+ youth is reportedly exacerbated by factors such as bullying and anti-LGBTQ+ politics. However, the introduction of a national hotline may have contributed to a decline in youth suicide deaths, although the overall mental health distress among LGBTQ+ youth appears to be increasing.
