The transgender and gender nonconforming community faces numerous barriers. Structural, interpersonal, and individual stigmas against this community have led to health disparities, many of which are particularly relevant to the psychiatric community. Rates of most mental health diagnoses are much higher in the transgender community than in the general population, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders, giving psychiatric clinicians ample opportunity to intervene for the good of our patients. Provider discrimination, historical stigma from the psychiatric community, and previous poor experiences from medical providers lead to continued hesitancy to best help this population. In this presentation, we explore literature surrounding this topic, understand current views from the American Psychiatric Association on the transgender community, and evaluate ways that we can help this community. We define appropriate vocabulary, explore hormone replacement therapy and surgical options, and evaluate letters of support. We review the national transgender survey outlining current trends amongst the transgender community and what we as mental health providers can do to advocate for our patients. There is evidence behind hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming surgeries in this community, and as providers with a very high likelihood of encountering several members of this community in our practices, this presentation is a call for action to provide appropriate care, referrals, and advocacy for this patient population.
