Gender Dysphoria
Understanding Gender Dysphoria
Gender Dysphoria is a psychological condition that occurs when someone has an incongruence between their gender identity and their assigned birth sex. It isn’t even a disorder — it’s a completely individual experience that may impact mental health, self-confidence, and interpersonal relationships.
Dr. Shetty’s Clinic offers patients a secure, affirming, and confidential environment for those who are still questioning their gender identity or who are already in the process of transitioning. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and emotional balance and wellness.
Way Forward is how we are working to support those seeking Female sexual disorders treatment, Female sexual health treatment in India or those needing support regarding Gender Identity and make it a respectful place to be.
Recognizing the Emotional Impact
What Gender Dysphoria feels like for everyone is different, but some of the experiences include:
- Continuous feeling of wrongness about one’s body or gender assignment
- Wanting to live as the gender you feel you are
- For instance, anxiety or depression or some emotional distress arising from the feelings of gender incongruence.
- Isolation or fear of misunderstanding
- Challenges with relationships or self-acceptance
Having support, empathy, and good guidance along the way can make this process easier and safer emotionally.
