Gender dysphoria is a psychological condition
where an individual experiences significant distress or impairment due to a
discrepancy between their gender identity and their assigned sex at birth. This
condition is characterized by a persistent desire to live and be recognized as
a gender different from the one assigned at birth. Symptoms may include a
strong desire to be treated as another gender, a conviction that one's feelings
and reactions are typical of another gender, and a strong preference for
clothing and activities typically associated with the experienced gender.
For a diagnosis, these feelings must cause
substantial distress or hinder daily functioning, such as social, occupational,
or other important areas of life. The diagnosis involves a comprehensive
evaluation by a mental health professional, including personal history,
psychological assessments, and sometimes discussions with family members.
Treatment often includes counseling, hormone therapy, and, in some cases,
gender-affirming surgeries.
