Interesting.
Article here. “Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996–2019: A Register Study”
“Conclusion : Severe psychiatric morbidity is common among gender-referred adolescents and appears to be more prevalent in those referred after the recent surge in referrals. Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment.”
Summary:
- Gender-referred adolescents show high psychiatric morbidity, yet gender differences and mental health trajectories after medical gender reassignment remain poorly understood.
- These adolescents had markedly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls before and after referral, with treatment needs often persisting and even intensifying after medical interventions—on some, they might even have a negative impact.
- Findings emphasise the need for thorough psychiatric assessment and ongoing treatment throughout medical gender reassignment.
Adolescents who present for gender assignment treatment – particularly boys – are deeply troubled and suicidal. After medical intervention they’re even more deeply troubled and suicidal.
Hmm. Not what we were told….
