Abstract

The concept of gender dysphoria is used to designate the dissatisfaction resulting from the conflict between gender identity and gender assigned at birth (genetic, gonadal, genital and morphological). The most frequently encountered psychopathologies include depressive disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, disorders of the personality, and they present a suicide attempt rate of 19 to 25%. Being a manifestation of low prevalence, this report aims to describe the case of a patient with gender dysphoria and comment on the experience of the therapeutic approach.
