Gender Identity Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Gender identity disorder, also described as gender dysphoria, refers to the significant distress that can arise when there is an incongruence between the gender a person identifies with and the sex assigned at birth.
How it is addressed: Support focuses on emotional well-being, respect, and understanding of each person's experience, without judgment.
When to seek support: When this distress affects mood, relationships, or daily life, having professional guidance can be helpful.
Who to turn to? The psychologist, the psychiatrist, and the sexologist offer evaluation and support in these cases. If you or someone close to you is going through this situation, talking about it with a mental health professional provides a safe space for support.
