Gender Identity Disorder

Gender Identity Disorder (GID) is classified as a mental disorder under psychiatric guidelines, particularly the DSM. It is characterized by an intense identification with the opposite gender, leading to significant discomfort with one's own gender. Individuals diagnosed with GID often experience disruption in various aspects of life, including social, occupational, and personal relationships. Diagnosis requires that the individual is not biologically intersex, as discomfort must arise from gender identity rather than biological factors. Understanding these criteria is essential for providing appropriate support and treatment.
