Unraveling the Depths: A Gripping Journey of a Homosexual Man Battling Adjustment Disorder and Descent into Suicide Attempt

Abstract

There are still higher rates of suicide attempts and mental health issues such as social anxiety, adjustment disorders, and depression within the LGBTQ community. However, they are shielded adequately by legal protection from social suffering. Is this enough for this community? Here, we have presented a young man who tried to take his own life following an adjustment disorder. He grappled with a personality trait, which is prone to developing personality disorder compounded by the fact that his family and society did not accept his homosexual orientation. Due to the loss of social and familial acceptance, homosexual individuals develop increased social anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. They are also prone to developing abnormal personality traits. Although legal acceptance exists, social acceptance is far from reality.
