The results of the researches show that the prevalence of emotional problems among homosexual persons is higher in comparison with the general population. However, homosexual orientation should not be treated as a reason for that, which is stressed by the greatest associations of mental health, basing on research. The question of the causes of increased prevalence of mental disorders among members of the sexual minorities remains without a clear answer. The theory of minority stress seems to be a very interesting explanation. It integrates a variety of risk factors, which may influence the stress level. In the article we try to explain this concept, hoping that it will be useful in understanding the situation of homosexual people.
研究结果表明，与普通人群相比，同性恋者中情感问题的患病率更高。然而，基于研究，心理健康领域最具影响力的协会强调，同性恋取向不应被视为导致这一现象的原因。性少数群体成员中精神障碍患病率增加的原因问题仍未得到明确答案。少数群体压力理论似乎是一个非常有趣的解释。它整合了各种可能影响压力水平的风险因素。在本文中，我们试图解释这一概念，希望它有助于理解同性恋者的状况。
