Thrilled to have @jack_turban discuss his cutting edge work on transgender youth at @unmcpsychiatry!
"Unfortunately, transgender youth experience a high rate of bullying and a high rate of psychiatric morbidity, especially anxiety & depression. This includes suicidal thoughts."

"If you use the wrong pronouns, you might remind a transgender or gender diverse youth of a past invalidation from a parent, a bully, etc. If you use the wrong pronouns, just apologize. You are trying to be on their team."

"If you are working with a kid who is transitioning, it's really important to work with the school and the community to ensure it is a safe environment."

Q: Advice for evaluation for gender dysphoria?
A: @jack_turban: There is an amazing model in Amsterdam which has a 6-month therapy evaluation.
When it came to the US, it was an adolescent medicine doc often w/o a mental health therapist. Different clinics do it differently.

Q: Advice for organized psychiatry?
A: @jack_turban: We are doing a better job. The key is speed of response in supporting transgender youth. Before, it took years to condemn conversion therapy. Now, it is a timely press release from the psychiatric orgs. Speed matters.
