What is gender dysphoria, and how can therapists differentiate between gender dysphoria and other mental health concerns related to gender identity?

Gender dysphoria is a psychological condition characterised by distress or discomfort that arises when a person’s gender identity does not align with their assigned sex at birth. Therapists can distinguish between gender dysphoria and other gender-related concerns through in-depth assessments of the client’s experiences, emotions, and identity exploration.
