Transgender people who have gender-affirming surgery less likely to need mental health treatment

the study gives"strong support for providing gender-affirming care to transgender individuals who seek them."

In the U.S., the authors pointed out, some states deny the use of public funds for gender-affirming treatments, while the Veterans Health Administration prohibits the surgery at VeteransPoor access to such treatments can push transgender people to seek hormones and surgery without medical supervision, which can be dangerous, they said.

Addressing the findings, Bränström said he was"somewhat surprised by the fact that even among transgender individuals treated 10 years ago, the risk of mental health problems were still somewhat elevated" when compared with the rest of the population.Acknowledging a limitation of the study, Bränström said:"This study was based on registry data only and we don't know any details about the living conditions and needs of each individual.

Bränström said:"This study was done in Sweden, a country with universal health care and relatively strong social welfare system. It is important to understand the situation of transgender individuals in other countries in the world and other regional settings." Last month, a separate study found that transgender people who undergo the widely discredited practice of gender conversion therapy are more likely to attempt suicide.
