Published in partnership with social psychologist Marc Svensson, the research underscores significant challenges faced by queer individuals beyond Pride month. Key findings indicate that 44.6% of LGBTQ+ professionals have experienced depression, with even higher rates among trans and non-binary individuals - 53.3% and bi+ individuals - 59%. Additionally, close to a third of respondents reported experiencing generalized anxiety disorder, with similarly elevated rates among trans, non-binary, and bi+ respondents. The study also revealed that only 13.7% of participants felt fully comfortable expressing their authentic selves in professional settings, contrasting with over 72% who felt more authentic among friends. Family environments offered a middle ground, with almost 36% able to be themselves. Regional disparities were evident, with higher levels of openness reported in the UK and Europe compared to North America and Africa. Despite this, the study found that 58% of LGBTQ+ professionals were open about their sexual orientation at work, underscoring the positive impact of increasing inclusiveness. However, the research highlighted gaps in support structures. A significant 75% of respondents indicated that their employers lacked comprehensive training and policies to support LGBTQ+ mental health adequately. #Queer Up Health
