Charles L. Burton's research has significantly contributed to the understanding and mitigation of sexual minority stress and its impact on mental health. Studies examining rejection sensitivity and social anxiety disorder among LGBTQ+ individuals reveal the moderating role of sexual identity strength, highlighting the importance of self-acceptance in coping with stigma. The "Estem Treatment Model" is a notable approach developed for addressing this spectrum of stress, demonstrated through a randomized controlled trial. Furthermore, research on hydrocortone responsiveness in Gulf War veterans with PTSD sheds light on its effects on ACTH and hippocampal glucose metabolism, offering potential avenues for treatment.
