Abstract in brief

This study explores how bisexuality, poverty, and mental health are interconnected, revealing that bisexual individuals often experience worse mental health outcomes partly due to income disparities.
Data from both surveys and interviews with bisexual adults in Ontario show those living below the poverty line face higher levels of depression, PTSD, and discrimination, with multiple factors influencing this cycle.
The research identifies four main pathways—early life experiences, employment challenges, discrimination, and limited access to culturally appropriate mental health care—that explain how poverty and bisexuality combine to affect mental health.
