Within the transgender community, rates of anxiety are much, much higher. In fact, some studies show that nearly everyone who is transgender is living with anxiety.
Over 90% of transgender Minnesotans feel anxious at least one day per week and nearly half feel nervous, anxious or on edge 5-7 days per week, based on the Rainbow Health survey.
Up to 79% of trans kids experience anxiety, based on the results of the Trevor Project’s national survey of LGBTQ youth.
Based on surveys, most people who are transgender feel depressed at least once a week.
About 85% of Minnesotans who are transgender feel depressed weekly, and 36% feel down at least five days per week, according to the Rainbow Health survey.
Up to 69% of trans youth experience symptoms of depression, according to the Trevor Project survey.
In comparison, about 5-6% of the general population experiences regular feelings of depression.
Horseboy, try to concentrate. Somatic pain from depression results form an excess of cortisol. Do you understand how that works? It is a completely different pain set to that caused by androgen blockers and hormone replacement.
Were you a thinking man, you'd appreciate that is precisely because of prevailing attitudes like yours and those represented in this thread that so many trans folk suffer anxiety and depression and instead of falling over yourselves to label them and utterly dismiss them as hysterical, you'd try to further your understanding before shooting from the hip.
But we can't really expect that of you, now can we.
i have scientific articles stating that trans people have much higher rates of depression and anxiety
and that depressed and anxious people have much higher rates of pain.
please re read your posts denying the above well documented facts.
