Although widely recognized as relevant, these topics are infrequently addressed in youth mental health care. This study explored how youth and mental health professionals experience discussions about sexuality and SOGI in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In-depth interviews were conducted with 21 youth aged 15\u201322\u00a0years receiving psychiatric care, alongside three focus groups with 20 mental health professionals, at a youth mental health center.

Professionals reported hesitation in raising these topics due to practical and personal barriers. Cultural and religious contexts shaped experiences, particularly for LGBTQ+ youth. Both groups emphasized the importance of addressing sexual side effects of psychotropic medication.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights a gap between the recognized relevance of sexuality and SOGI and their discussion in everyday practice.
