Gender Dysphoria

This condition,gender dysphoria is a condition in which a person experiences significant distress. As well as discomfort because their gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. This condition can affect people of any age. However, it often becomes more apparent during adolescence or early adulthood, when gender roles and expectations become more socially defined.

This experience goes beyond simply wanting to dress or act in a way associated with another gender. It involves deep, persistent feelings that one’s internal sense of gender does not match their physical body or societal expectations. The distress caused by this mismatch can lead to anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, and difficulty functioning in daily life.

Gender Dysphoria

This dysphoria is not a mental illness. However, the psychological distress it causes can impact mental health significantly. Recognition and support from healthcare providers. Family, and community play a critical role in improving outcomes for individuals with this condition. Healthcare providers personalise treatment based on the person’s needs and goals, which may include psychological support, social transition, hormonal therapy, or surgical options
