	abstract = {BACKGROUND: Substantial mental health disparities between lesbian, gay and
bisexual (LGB) individuals compared with heterosexuals have been
identified. The aim was to examine potential sexual orientation-based
disparities in mental health treatment in a prospectively analysed
population-based sample in Sweden and to explore potential moderators and
mediators. METHOD: 30 730 individuals from the Stockholm Public Health
Cohort were followed up with questionnaires and registry-based health
record data on psychiatric healthcare visits and prescription drug use
between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2011. RESULTS: In adjusted
analyses, gay and lesbian individuals were more likely to receive
treatment for anxiety disorders (adjusted ORs (AOR)=3.80; 95\% CI 2.54 to
5.69) and to use antidepressant medication (AOR=2.13; 95\% CI 1.62 to
2.79); and bisexuals were more likely to receive treatment for mood
disorders (AOR=1.58; 95\% CI 1.00 to 2.48), anxiety disorders (AOR=3.23;
95\% CI 2.22 to 4.72) and substance use disorders (AOR=1.91; 95\% CI 1.12 to
3.25), and to use antidepressant medication (AOR=1.91; 95\% CI 1.12 to
3.25) when compared with heterosexuals. The largest mental health
treatment disparities based on sexual orientation were found among
bisexual women, gay men and younger lesbian women. More frequent
experiences of victimisation/threat of violence and lack of social support
could partially explain these disparities. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows a
substantially elevated risk of poor mental health among LGB individuals as
compared with heterosexuals. Findings support several factors outlined in
the minority stress theory in explaining the mechanisms behind these
disparities.},
