A survey conducted in 2022 in the United States found that young adults were more likely to experience anxiety symptoms, and this was particularly true among those who identified as LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender). Nearly 61 percent of LGBT respondents aged 18 to 29 reported anxiety symptoms. This statistic shows the percentage of adults who reported anxiety symptoms in the United States in 2022, by age and LGBT status.
Percentage of adults who reported anxiety symptoms in the United States in 2022, by age and LGBT status
Data collection of the Household Pulse Survey (Phase 3.5) took place in the following dates:
June 1 to June 13, 2022. Sample size: 62,826
June 29 to July 11, 2022. Sample size: 58,304
July 27 to August 8, 2022. Sample size: 46,801
The source categorized respondents as LGBT if their reported sex at birth differed from their current gender identity, if they identified their sexual orientation as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, or if they identified as transgender.
Non-LGBT respondents were those whose sex at birth matched their current gender identity, and who selected "Straight" when asked about their sexual orientation.
