– Transgender youth are less likely to grapple with depression and suicidal thoughts when they receive early gender-affirming care, according to a new study.
– The study, published in Pediatrics, surveyed 300 transgender youth and found older trans teens who had yet to get proper transitionary care were more likely to suffer from worse mental health issues.
– The findings are in line with previous research that links early transitionary care and gender affirmation to better mental health in trans kids and teens.
