A new study from the University of Manchester has examined instances of self-harm for bisexual people, and found that they were six times more likely to have self-harmed in the past twelve months than straight people.
When accounting for lifetime, the study found that bisexuals were four times more likely to self-harm than straight and gay people, and two times more likely than lesbians.
The online study, titled Self-Injury In Young Bisexual People: A Longitudinal Investigation, is now asking for bisexual people aged between 18 and 25 to record their experiences.
It’s hoped this data might reveal some of the reasons behind the figures, like the experience of biphobia or other psychological issues.
