A 2022 survey conducted in the United States found that adults who identified as LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual) were more likely to have suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts than heterosexual individuals. The share of bisexual adults in the U.S. who attempted suicide in the past year was 3.3 percent, the highest compared to other groups. This statistic illustrates the percentage of adults who had suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts in the past year in the U.S. as of 2022, by sexual identity.
