Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996–2019: A Register Study
Paediatrics Journal ^ | April 4, 2026 | Sami-Matti Ruuska, Katinka Tuisku, Timo Holttinen, and Riittakerttu Kaltiala

Gender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls both before (45.7% vs. 15.0%) and ≥ 2 years after referral (61.7% vs. 14.6%). Those referred after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than earlier cohorts, both before (47.9% vs. 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after (61.3% vs. 14.2%) referral. Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment. After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.

The mental health of young adults whose genitals are mutilated gets worse. It's good the study was published, but in a sane world a study would not have been needed, in fact impossible to conduct, because no one would be doing this to teenagers.

“I’m not happy.”
“Well, we could take sharp surgical implements and mutilate your genitals. Do you think that would help?”
“It’s worth a shot.”

How creating an open wound in someone makes them happy is twilight zone science.

Of course the quacks in the US will tell us that they handle Sexual Dysphoria better than the Finns because they get paid better.

Thanks for posting. This and similar studies should be widely disseminated.

In short, this 'liberal fashion statement' insanity was more evil than even we thought. "Doctor" Monsters need to be sued... forever.

I wonder why.

I guess mutilating kids who haven’t figured out who they are yet leads to trauma and mental issues.

Who would have guessed?

“Cutting off your penis increases suicides by 500%!”

Isn’t that the headline news?

What’s REALLY CRIMINAL is that the parents of these kids were being told that if you let Johnny’s keep his dick, he’ll likely commit suicide.

But major political parties throughout the West are now FULLY FEMINIZED, so nothing should surprise us.

Does psychiatric morbidity mean death from insanity?

The writer throws around the term ‘psychiatric morbidity’ as if everyone knows what it means, which is a term I have never heard of before. When one writes an article like this the first order of business is to define the meaning of terms used in your article.

God made them MALE and FEMALE

They reject Almighty God

They CUT OFF the body parts

They wind up with mental health issues

Finland Confused and Baffled 🤔🤔🤔

American Democrats Confused and Baffled 🤔🤔🤔

Apparently not. My search engine shows it to mean things got worse. Pain and distress increased. More mental illness.

I think they are insane, hate themselves, and think by being reborn as a different sex they can start over.

Ironically close to the truth, just focused on the body not the spirit.

Gender dysphoria used to be considered a mental illness.

Guess when and why that changed...

Pre 2013: Gender Identity Disorder.

Post 2013: Gender Dysphoria

And the name wasn’t the only change.

Read this and then read the stories of whistleblower workers in the gender clinics who talk about the pressure that they are under for both economic and ideological reasons to recommend gender reassignment as the first solution rather than the last solution. Gender reassignment is a business that has a heavy economic incentive to push reassignment and not try other things first. The results of this study should not surprise anyone.
