    Las altas prevalencias de problemas de salud mental en personas LGBT han sido explicadas desde el modelo de estrés de minorías. La homolesbobitransfobia y la internalización del estigma, constituyen procesos de estrés que impactan la salud mental. Por su parte, la internalización e hipervigilancia del estigma y, el ocultamiento de la identidad sexual diversa, pueden constituir barreras para la provisión de una atención de calidad. Con el objetivo de identificar aspectos que constituyen barreras y facilitadores para la ayuda en salud mental, se re-analizaron 30 entrevistas de un estudio previo con adolescentes y jóvenes LGBT sobrevivientes de procesos de suicidio. Se empleó la codificación focalizada de la Teoría Fundamentada, desarrollando tres categorías centrales: La hipervigilancia en la ayuda psicológica, La necesidad de ayuda en el estigma internalizado, y el lugar de la orientación sexual y la identidad de género en la ayuda psicológica. Del análisis emergió el fenómeno “Tan cerca pero tan lejos”, que engloba las barreras para la provisión de ayuda psicológica y psicoterapéutica sensible a las necesidades de adolescentes y jóvenes LGBT.

    The high prevalence of mental health problems in LGBT people has been explained from the minority stress model. Homolesbobitransphobia and the internalization of stigma are stress processes that impact mental health. The internalization and hypervigilance of the stigma and the concealment of sexual diverse identity can be barriers to the provision of appropriated mental health care. In order to identify aspects that constitute barriers and facilitators for mental health care, 30 interviews from a previous study with LGBT adolescents and youth who had survived suicide were re-analyzed. Focused coding of the Grounded Theory was used, developing three core categories: Hypervigilance in psychological help, The need for help for internalized stigma, and The place of sexual orientation and gender identity in psychological help. From the analysis emerged global concept called "So Close yet So Far", synthesizing the barriers to provide psychological and psychotherapeutic help that is sensitive to the needs of LGBT adolescents and youth.
