Gender Dysphoria: Disease Overview

Gender dysphoria, previously termed previously gender identity disorder, refers to the sense of unease that a person experiences due to an incongruence between an individual's biological sex and gender identity. Symptoms include feeling uncomfortable or distressed, disliking one's genitalia, and feeling isolated or lonely, among others. The condition can cause depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. Additionally, transgender people are likely to be at a higher risk for substance abuse and eating disorders.

Gender Dysphoria: Treatment Overview

Hormone therapy, behavioral health therapy, and surgery are the common treatment options for gender dysphoria. Hormone therapy helps suppress the natural hormones of the affected person and replaces them with cross-sex hormones. Surgery can also be opted to make such individuals comfortable in their gender identity. It includes breast, genital, facial, or vocal surgery, and is recommended to be performed after age 18. Behavioral health therapy is also useful for addressing mental health concerns or transition-related issues.
