INTRODUCTION
LGBTQ+ individuals experience disproportionately high rates of mental health disorders. Subpopulations of this community experience unique risk factors and barriers to accessing care.
METHOD
This study analyzes chart review data of patients (n=49) of an LGBTQ+-specific, student-run, free mental health clinic in NYC between March 2019 and July 2021.
RESULT
Most common diagnoses were mood disorders (55%) and anxiety disorders (53%). 88% of patients reported experiencing lifetime traumatic events; 20% of patients met criteria for PTSD.
CONCLUSION
Further research is needed to characterize vulnerable subpopulations to create equitable, accessible, and competent mental health care resources for the LGBTQ+ community.
