the vast majority of psychiatrists and mental health professionals do not consider homosexuality to be a mental disorder. The understanding of homosexuality as a mental illness has evolved significantly over the years, and it is no longer classified as a mental disorder in any reputable psychiatric or psychological diagnostic system.
In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II). Since then, it has been recognized that homosexuality is a natural variation of human sexuality and not a mental disorder.
The World Health Organization (WHO) also removed homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in 1992.
Today, the stance of major mental health organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, and the World Health Organization, is that homosexuality is not a mental disorder and should not be treated as such.
While there might be some individuals or fringe groups who still hold outdated views, the scientific consensus and mainstream professional organizations fully recognize that homosexuality is a normal aspect of human diversity and not a mental health issue.
