Abstract: Dysforia płci u osób chorujących na schizofrenię może wynikać ze zmienionej urojeniowo identyfikacji z płcią lub ujawniać się niezależnie od procesu psychotycznego. Rozróżnienie tych sytuacji jest nie tylko wyzwaniem diagnostycznym, ale wpływa także na podejmowanie decyzji terapeutycznych.

“…We believe that the clinical cases presented above reflect the difficulties that can be observed in adolescent patients with coexisting symptoms of distress arising from dissatisfaction with their own biological sex and the ongoing acute psychotic process. As pointed out by researchers, including Stusiński and Lew-Starowicz (2018), the most important diagnostic problem in such cases is to distinguish between delusions of gender reassignment and actual gender dysphoria, in which precise assessment of two factors such as can be helpful: 1.

“…12,13 Interestingly, in patients who present with gender dysphoria as a positive symptom of schizophrenia, it dissipates with appropriate treatment as opposed to men with gender dysphoria and schizophrenia where it persists despite appropriate antipsychotics. 10 Awareness that acute gender dysphoria may be a sign of schizophrenia in patients presenting with GSM is critical for management. Only adequate control of schizophrenia, which can take months, and repeated evaluation of sexual identity over time can distinguish between "reactive" gender dysphoria or "true" gender dysphoria in a patient with mental illness.…”
