Mental health access should be a right
New research from the University of Ottawa has found that:
- Transgender and gender-diverse people were up to 3x times more likely to meet the criteria for depression, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and social phobia over one year compared to cisgender people.
- More than 50% of transgender or gender-diverse people in the study had met the criteria for major depression, generalized anxiety, or social phobia in their lives.
- Transgender and gender-diverse people were 3x times more likely to report thoughts of suicide and 6x more likely to have attempted suicide during their lifetime.
As a trans person myself who has long struggled with mental health and was diagnosed with OCD in 2022, I've decided to take part in this challenge — to complete 2,000 push-ups in 18 days — to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association. Please support me as I #pushforbetter from February 11-28.
All proceeds help the Canadian Mental Health Association to support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health in Canada.
