Transgender people who start gender-affirming hormone treatment in adolescence experience better mental health than those who wait until adulthood, according to a new study.
, published this week in the Public Library of Science’s online journal, found that individuals who began hormone treatment in adolescence were less likely to experience suicidal thoughts, major mental health disorders or issues of substance abuse.
Gender dysphoria, which is discomfort or distress caused by the discrepancy between a person’s gender identity and sex assigned at birth, can cause anxiety and depression when left untreated, Ojeda said. “This is the first study to explicitly show that not being able to access hormones until adulthood is linked to worse mental health outcomes,” he said.
Respondents were asked about their mental health and history of suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, binge drinking and illicit drug use, as well as about any recent instances of severe psychological distress. People display transgender pride outside the Stonewall Inn during a rally June 28, 2019, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York. On soccer fields, in locker rooms and even at the doctor's office, the rights of transgender youths have become a political lightning rod as dozens of bills attempt to dictate their fate in conservative states.
Such legislation has been largely opposed by medical professionals, including the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association.
