According to a 2022 survey conducted in the United States, the share of adults who experienced depression symptoms was greater among those who identified as LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender) across all age groups. As of August 8, 2022, approximately half of LGBT adults aged 18 to 29 experienced depression symptoms, compared to nearly 29 percent of non-LGBT respondents. This statistic shows the percentage of adults who reported depression symptoms in the United States in 2022, by age and LGBT status.
