"Bisexual people have the worst mental health problems" - report

According to a report in the Pink Paper, bisexual people have above-average mental health problems, including higher rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide - which could be attributable to biphobia and bisexual invisibility, and exists both in the UK and internationally.

The Pink Paper reports that:

"The report, led by Dr Meg Barker, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at The Open University, found that bisexual people experience biphobia, distinct from homophobia.

Attitudes towards bisexual people were found to be more negative than those towards other minority groups, with them often being stereotyped as promiscuous, incapable of monogamy, a threat to relationships and spreaders of disease."
