Mental Health at the Margins: Sexual and Gender Minority Needs in Clinical Care.
The term sexual and gender minority (SGM) encompasses a diverse population whose unique health needs warrant thoughtful consideration by clinicians in primary care settings. In this article, we will provide a brief history and challenges faced by this population. Case vignettes, sticky points, and clinician care points will be presented. This paper seeks to foster reflective practice in working with SGM patients while recognizing the heterogeneity of personal identities and experiences.
