In the least surprising clinical conclusion in world history, research published in the medical journal Transgender Health revealed the sizable mental health disparity between transgender and cisgender subjects:
We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses among transgender patients in clinical care using an all-payer electronic health record database. Of 10,270 transgender patients identified, 58% (n=5940) had at least one psychiatric diagnosis compared with 13.6% (n=7,311,780) in the control patient population (p<0.0005). Transgender patients had a statistically significant increase in prevalence for all psychiatric diagnoses queried, with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder being the most common diagnoses (31% and 12%, respectively). Utilizing an all-payer database, although not without limitations, enables assessment of mental health and substance use diagnoses in this otherwise small population.
The researchers found “increased rates of bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorders” in the transgender population, among other negative disparities like schizoaffective disorder, panic disorder, and agoraphobia.
The study examined the records of 53,449,400 patients, so it was a huge sample size.
Of course, as one would expect from a medical journal called Transgender Health, the researchers were obligated to add the caveat that the divergent mental health outcomes were due to “the high rates of discrimination and violence transgender individuals experience” rather than anything inherent to the experience of literally believing you are living in an alien body that does not match your psychological identity.
Ever committed to the ideology, the researchers also take the opportunity to advocate for transing children as young as possible, suggesting that “the emerging field of transgender pediatric research has demonstrated improved mental health outcomes when children are allowed to socially transition at a young age.”

Beyond obvious - although the media make out that tranny-ism is not only perfectly normal but a preferred lifestyle.
Sarcasm aside, I'm sure that will be the excuse. It's everyone else's fault.
No surprise///////////////
No way!
It’s 100%.
The transgenders are, by definition, mentally ill.
The very fact of being self-described “transgendered” means they are mentally ill.
4.5? That decimal point needs to move at least one place to the right.
Without being mean I would think 100%.
Not quite the same as people (especially men) who simply want to screw anything and everything regardless of gender.
Transgenders are 100% psychotic...
well duh
Nonsense. Trans have 100% more psychiatric illness than normal people.
When you start with crazy it’s pretty much a given.
I would say that 100% of transgenders have Gender Dysphoria.
That’s all ???
Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. These people are sick to begin with.
WELL DUH! — IT’S A MENTAL ISSUE FROM DAY ONE! ....imho
That’s all?
True. By definition transgender people have mental issues.
Come on man, or woman... This is a no brainer... Desiring the removal or addition to your private parts has mental illness written all over it... Who in their right mind would want gender bending surgery?
