Abstract
Background: Sexual minorities refer to individuals whose sexual identity, gender orientation, and sexual practices differ from that of surrounding society. In general, they are called lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals. Because of the stigma and discrimination, they are prone to many psychological issues.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the psychiatric morbidities among sexual minority people of Manipur.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted with the help of a non-governmental organization in a northeast state of Manipur after getting ethical committee approval. A total of 70 sexual minority individuals were selected using non-probability sampling. After taking the consent, a semi-structured pro forma was used to collect sociodemographic details. Mini‑international neuropsychiatry interview‑plus was administered to assess psychiatric morbidities.

Results: Lesser family support and a higher history of sexual abuse were present in our study group. Depression was found in 25% of lesbians and transgender each and in 20% of gay people in our group whereas current suicidal risk was seen among 31.2% of transgender and 15% among lesbians and gays in our study sample. Anxiety spectrum of disorders was present in 41.6% of lesbians, 35% of gays, 33.3% of bisexuals, and in 53.1% of transgender. Substance dependence was present among 41.6% lesbians, 66.6% of gays, 66.6% of bisexuals, and 43.7% of transgender.

Conclusion: Higher prevalence of psychiatric morbidities was found among these sexual minority individuals and hence prompting for a necessary intervention at the earliest.

Key words: Depression; Anxiety; Substance Abuse; Sexual Minority
