Mujeres lesbianas y bisexuales presentan altos índices de psicopatologías. Este estudio comparó los índices de felicidad subjetiva, satisfacción con la vida, depresión, ansiedad y estrés en mujeres lesbianas, bisexuales y heterosexuales. Las participantes fueran 736 mujeres (heterosexuales = 414, lesbianas = 143, bisexuales = 194), mayores de 18 años (M = 27,37, DP = 13,44). Fue respondido un cuestionario online compuesto por cuestionario sociodemográfico y escalas para la evaluación de las variables psicológicas citadas. Lesbianas y bisexuales presentaron menores niveles de bienestar y mayores de psicopatologías que heterosexuales. Bisexuales presentaron menores índices de bienestar y mayores de psicopatologías cuando comparadas a lesbianas y heterosexuales. Se cree que estos indicadores pueden ser explicados por la condición de vulnerabilidad psicosocial a la que se encuentran las mujeres no heterosexuales. Investigaciones más amplias deben ser conducidas para obtener mayor comprensión de las variables predictoras de los resultados de salud mental en ese grupo.
