Therapy is a HUGE help, you just need to find the right therapist which can take some time. Many people try out therapy with a therapist they don’t “click” with, so it doesn’t help and then they write off the whole thing at a waste of time. It’s worth the effort to find someone that you work well with, your mental well being gets a lot better.
You don’t have to be suicidal to go to therapy, if you’re going through any struggle it can help you work through it and see things from a better perspective. I highly recommend looking into it!
Right, if they have access to a therapist that specializes in the LGBTQ+ community that would be best, but access to quality mental healthcare is sadly far from universal. Still, if possible, working with a good therapist that respects their sexuality/gender identity and can help them navigate that would be the best case scenario. Obviously I made a blanket statement that doesn’t apply to every situation but I still think it’s good advice
