It has been found in research that young gays or bisexual men under age 26 attempt suicide more frequently around six times more than the older men of same sex.

"We know minority groups are at higher risk of poor mental health than the heterosexual majority, however the mental health differences within sexual minorities is unclear," said lead study author Ford Hickson from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

"The study showed that among gay and bisexual men, age and ethnicity had a significant impact on mental health, as did income and education. This is possibly because men are better able to cope with homophobia the older they are, or if they are relatively privileged in other areas of their lives," Hickson added in the paper published in the Journal of Public Health.

Bisexual men experience discrimination, goes into depression and attempt suicide. They even experience less income and have poor mental health than heterosexuality people. The key for positive mental health, with men who are living with a male partner 50 percent less likely to suffer from depression compared to gay and bisexual men living alone, the researchers noted.
