June is observed as Pride Month to celebrate the community and spread awareness about the challenges they face. A lot of people are unaware of the health challenges that these people have to bear. Onlymyhealth reached out to people belonging to these communities to understand what all issues in terms of health they deal with in the lifetime. Needless to say, mental and physical health issues are prominent and often go unnoticed. It is high time that we show some empathy towards these people and start treating them as normal people. This would not only reduce the mental load and decrease the possibility of mental health issues but also help them become stronger and confident to face hurdles.
In this video, team OMH had an exclusive chat with two members of the LGBQT+ community and spoke about different health challenges they experience. They shared that apart from physical issues, mental and psychological barriers disturb them the most. Their sexual orientation is still unacceptable by a large chunk of the society that impacts their mental well-being. Watch this video to know their story.
