Скачать или смотреть Understanding Gender Dysphoria: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

This video provides an overview of gender dysphoria, including its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

Gender dysphoria refers to psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity. Symptoms may include a strong and persistent discomfort with one's primary and secondary sex characteristics, physiologically or socially.

The video explains how gender dysphoria is diagnosed according to the criteria listed in the DSM-5. This involves a lengthy assessment process to explore identification with another gender and evaluate symptom severity and impact on functioning.

Coming out and transition related care are reviewed as common treatment approaches. Social transition involves changes in name, pronouns, and expression. Medical transition may involve hormone therapy and surgeries to alter one's physical sex characteristics.

Risks and benefits of different treatment options are discussed. Supportive therapy and living in accordance with one's gender identity can help alleviate dysphoria while improving well-being and quality of life. However, transgender individuals also face social stigma which can compound medical and mental health risks.

The goal of this video is to provide objective information about gender dysphoria and resources to promote greater understanding, acceptance and compassion. Viewers will gain insight into the transgender experience and what helps or hinders overall transgender health and happiness.
