The Role of Psychiatry for Transgender and Gender Diverse Adults.
Harvard Review of Psychiatry 2024 March
Since the inclusion of gender identity disorder in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III), psychiatry and the broader medical field have made substantial alterations in their recognition of and respect for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) identities. As this recognition continues to expand, psychiatrists should be aware of both historical harm and current best care practices, especially in light of psychiatric morbidity in TGD populations relative to the general population. This article contextualizes the history of psychiatry's engagement with TGD patients and presents the gender minority stress and resilience model to frame the mental health disparities experienced by TGD people. We envision a role for psychiatry that goes beyond gatekeeping gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgeries. Instead, we should invest in equitable care across the continuum of mental health needs. We provide an overview of existing literature to help characterize psychiatric epidemiology for this population, with the goal of offering guidance on how psychiatrists can deliver responsive and high-quality care for TGD people. Some key areas of proposed clinical improvement include culturally tailoring interventions for substance use disorders, reducing medical trauma in acute psychiatric care settings, and better understanding the interplay of psychopharmacology and gender-affirming hormone therapy.
