“…Un factor significativo que contribuye a los niveles elevados de intentos de suicidio entre la población lgbti+ es el estigma social generalizado que sienten las personas que abiertamente se identifican, o son percibidos como, lgbti+. Este estigma se manifiesta a menudo por violencia física y emocional contra ellas, así como la discriminación por parte de la familia, amigos y comunidad en general; el miedo a la violencia y la discriminación conduce a altos niveles de conservación en secreto de las identidades sexuales, así como a una falta de voluntad general de divulgar su identidad, que se conoce comúnmente como vivir en el closet (Halady, 2013). Cuando la orientación sexual es diferente a la heterosexual se generan conductas de rechazo en la familia, la escuela, el trabajo y los espacios públicos, dando lugar a sentimientos de miedo y desolación, reforzando las conductas de aislamiento, ocultamiento de la homosexualidad e ideación suicida (Granados y Delgado, 2008).…”

La investigación tuvo como propósito determinar la relación entre apoyo social, depresión y reconocimiento de la homosexualidad, con la ideación suicida en personas homosexuales de San Juan de Pasto, Colombia. El tipo de estudio fue correlacional, con una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia de 162 personas que se autodefinían como homosexuales. Se aplicó las escalas de Apoyo Social, de Depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos, de Reconocimiento de la Homosexualidad, así como el Inventario de Ideas Suicidas Positivas y Negativas. Se encontró que los participantes presentaron mayores niveles de ideación suicida y depresión, y menores niveles de apoyo social, en comparación con datos obtenidos en la población general de San Juan de Pasto. Se concluye que la depresión está asociada directamente con la ideación suicida, mientras que el apoyo social y el reconocimiento de la orientación sexual promueven la salud mental en gais y lesbianas.

“…This is especially evident when examining minority groups that may suffer from discrimination. For example, suicide rates are higher in those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT), likely due at least in part to hostility and/or marginalization of this community [26]. Another example is that of indigenous populations.…”

Research on the pathophysiology, treatment, and prevention of suicide: practical and ethical issues

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Despite decades of research, the rate of death from suicide is rising in the United States. Suicide is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon and, to date, no validated biomarkers that predict suicidal behavior have been identified. Only one FDA-approved drug to prevent suicide exists, and it is approved only for patients with schizophrenia. Although anti-suicide psychotherapeutic techniques exist, treatment takes time, and only preliminary data exist for rapid-acting therapies. Discussion: While more research into suicidal ideation and acute suicidal behavior is clearly needed, this research is fraught with both practical and ethical concerns. As a result, many investigators and bioethicists have called for restrictions on the types of research that individuals with suicidal behavior can participate in, despite the fact that the available empirical evidence suggests that this research can be done safely. This manuscript presents background information on the phenomenology of suicide, discusses the current state of treatment and prevention strategies, and reviews the practical and ethical issues surrounding suicide research in the context of available empirical data. Summary: Currently, the causes of suicide are poorly understood, in part due to the fact that very few studies have investigated the acute suicidal crisis. Although some biomarkers for predicting risk have been developed, none have been sufficiently validated. The most successful current interventions involve means restriction. However, while numerous hurdles face researchers, these are not insurmountable. The available evidence suggests that research into suicide can be conducted both safely and ethically.

“…At the same time, family support could be more strongly associated with bravery for heterosexual and cisgender youth compared with their SGM peers. Although there is a growing literature on SGM youth and family support, other literature highlights that many SGM youth continue to face some degree of rejection or limited acceptance of their sexual orientation from their family (Halady, 2013; Klein & Golub, 2016). It is possible, then, that SGM youth may experience contradictory or mixed reactions from their family.…”

Research among sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth has suggested associations between Gender-Sexuality Alliance (GSA) involvement and better health. Emergent research has similarly demonstrated associations between family support and general well-being among SGM youth. However, the trait of bravery has received little attention in this literature, despite its relevance for youth in marginalized positions. We examined the association between level of GSA involvement, family support, and bravery among GSA members ( n = 295; Mage = 16.07), and whether those associations differed based on sexual orientation or gender identity. We then conducted one-on-one interviews with SGM youth ( n = 10), to understand how they understood bravery and experienced support in both GSA and family contexts. Greater GSA involvement significantly predicted greater bravery for all youth, whereas greater family support predicted greater bravery only for heterosexual youth. No significant moderation was found for gender minority youth. Our qualitative findings clarified how SGM youth conceptualized bravery and how they experienced it within their GSA and family settings. GSAs were associated with more frequent displays of explicit support for SGM identity, while families were perceived as providing less explicit support.
