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.”

There’s a stunner. Only 4.5?
I hate transgenders.
This is like saying sick people have a higher rate of dying than people who aren't sick................😜
That is conservative. In the more sane past years, simply being a tranny was considered mental illnees. Then again, if even 5 or 6 years ago, you would have predicted that the heads of major American medical schools would profess that men could get pregnant and that insurance companies would pay for men (actual genetic men, BTW) to have cervical cancer screning you would have been consdered mentally ill.
Heh! Just like democrats.
It should he 100x
Study: Transgenders Have 4.5 Times Higher Rate of Psychiatric Illness Than Normies
Crap. You beat me to it.
I’ll bet it’s also high among those in the lg lifestyle.
... demon-ridden.
Interesting. I never realized that nearly 23% of normal people had psychiatric illnesses.
“Transgenders Have 4.5 Times Higher Rate of Psychiatric Illness Than Normies”
So we will be forced to spend ten times that ratio !!
DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH….
Ya think so?!?!?
That seems like the rate I have heard for young adults, and double for the populace at large.
The fact that they are transgender shows that yes, they most definitely DO have a psychiatric problem.
Are you kidding me????!!! Transgender is a mental illness.. its 100x more likely to have a mental illness! .
The other perverts have developed the capability to live with the psychiatric dysfunction always present in their daily lives
