Psychiatric Diagnoses Among Transgender and Gender Diverse Patients Compared to Cisgender Patients

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of psychiatric patients using semistructured diagnostic interviews to compare the frequency of psychiatric disorders between cisgender and TGD patients. These results bear implications for creating gender-inclusive treatment facilities. Psychiatry programs interested in qualifying as Safe Zones and treating TGD patients should have or develop expertise in treating posttraumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.
