Orang LGBT terutama anak dan remaja LGBT di masyarakat memiliki risiko lebih tinggi menderita depresi dan melakukan bunuh diri^[1][2] karena stres minoritas yang berasal dari diskriminasi, stigma anti-LGBT, dan penolakan masyarakat serta rasa tidak suka terhadap diri sendiri.^[3] Penelitian telah menemukan hubungan antara nilai dan norma ajaran Mormonisme (Gereja OSZA) dengan depresi dan masalah kesehatan jiwa lainnya pada orang Mormon LGBTQ.^[4][5][6]

Pada bulan Januari 2016, Gereja OSZA mengeluarkan pernyataan agar pemuka agama dan umat, "aktif menjangkau, mengasihi semua, terutama terhadap anak dan remaja yang merasa terasingi atau terkucilkan."^[7]

Journal of Gay & Lesbian Mental Health. 18 (3): 301,304. doi:10.1080/19359705.2014.912970. The major findings from the study are that non-biologically based views regarding the etiology of SSA [same-sex attraction], remaining active in the LDS church, remaining single, and engaging in mixed-orientation marriages were all associated with higher reported levels of internalized homophobia, sexual identity distress, and depression, and lower levels of self-esteem and quality of life. ... This study does affirm and extend the existing literature by suggesting that psychosocially based beliefs about SSA etiology active participation in non-LGBT-affirming churches, being single and celibate, and mixed-orientation marriage—all of which are common beliefs and/or practices within modern, active LDS culture—are associated with poorer psychosocial health, well-being, and quality of life for LGBT Mormons. Conversely, biological beliefs about SSA etiology, complete disaffiliation from the LDS church, legal same-sex marriage, and sexual activity are all associated with higher levels of psychosocial health, well-being, and quality of life for LGBT Mormons.

In an attempt to address this shortage, my colleagues Daniel Parkinson, Michael Barker, and I have presented a wide range of evidence examining direct, indirect, and anecdotal evidence examining the relationship between Mormon culture/norms/rhetoric and youth suicide rates in the Mormon community, especially among LGBT youths. We conclude that while there is little direct evidence available to be able to conclusively demonstrate that a Mormon environment results in higher levels of youth LGBT suicides, there is sufficient indirect and anecdotal evidence that, when combined with what direct evidence is available, strongly points to a link between these factors.

We also found a significant positive correlation between depression and [suicidal] intent in the total sample, especially in the depressed group. The latter results replicates the findings of Silver and his co-workers (10) in a similar study [DOI:10.1001/archpsyc.1971.01750180093015]; 90 percent of their sample consisted of depressed patients and they also found a significant positive correlation between depression and intent.
