This manuscript falls squarely within the scope of Frontiers in Psychology, particularly within the specialties of Clinical Psychology and Gender, Sex and Sexualities. It provides a theoretically grounded and empirically informed synthesis of how social exclusion contributes to mental health disparities among LGBTQ+ populations. By integrating psychological mediation models, minority stress theory, and neurobiological data, the article addresses the journal's emphasis on translational, interdisciplinary research with direct implications for psychological theory, clinical intervention, and public health policy. It further aligns with the journal's mission to highlight equity, diversity, and mental health innovation in vulnerable populations.
