Continuing our celebration of Pride Month here on the podcast, I want to look at the benefits of gender-affirming care on transgender youth. Since gender-affirming care saves lives, it improves mental health and it decreases gender dysphoria and the associated negative mental health outcomes. However, one debate that is raging across the world is whether underage transgender youth should be allowed to undergo gender-affirming care if they’re going through a mental health crisis. A crisis that could led to suicide. In this clinical psychology podcast episode, we’ll look at why denying youth gender-affirming care could increase suicide, what we can do to help transgender youth and ultimately why giving youth a way of their gender dysphoria with gender-affirming care could save lives. If you enjoy learning about mental health, gender dysphoria and clinical psychology then this is a great episode for you. LISTEN NOW!
