How Is Gender Dysphoria Classified In The DSM-5? - Gender Equality Network
How Is Gender Dysphoria Classified In The DSM-5? In this informative video, we will cover the classification of gender dysphoria as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5). Understanding this classification is essential for mental health professionals, as it helps to differentiate between gender identity and the distress that may arise from the incongruence between one's gender identity and assigned sex at birth. We will discuss the specific diagnostic criteria for both adolescents and adults, as well as the criteria for children. By breaking down these criteria, we aim to provide clarity on how gender dysphoria is recognized and addressed in mental health settings. Additionally, we will explore the implications of this classification for treatment and support, emphasizing the importance of supportive therapies, hormone treatments, and gender-affirming surgeries. This video also highlights the significance of understanding gender dysphoria in the context of LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion, promoting a compassionate approach to gender identity within our communities.
