Increased risk of suicidality in treatment-seeking transgender adults and adolescents with autism traits and anxiety/depression

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study highlights increased vulnerability in this population for suicidality, particularly those with autism traits and anxiety/depression. These findings are important in the context of the reclassification of gender incongruence to conditions of sexual health. While a move away from mental health services reduces stigma for individuals seeking gender-affirming interventions, the treatment of co-existing mental health needs requires close involvement with mental health services.
