Prevalence of anxiety symptoms and disorders in the transgender population: A systematic review of the literature

Non-binary and binary transgender youth: Comparison of mental health, self-harm, suicidality, substance use and victimization experiences

“…This is consistent with previous research reporting higher levels of mental illness in transgender males than transgender females (Millet, Longworth and Arcelus, 2017) and higher levels of depression and anxiety in females than males in general population studies (20.7% vs 13.2%; McManus et al, 2016). Contrary to the prediction based on Veale et al's (2017) study, there was no evidence that nonbinary participants had higher rates of mental illness than binary participants, however that study combined nonbinary male and female SAAB participants.…”

“…Conversely, males report more experiences of physical assault and substance abuse than females (ONS, 2016;NHS Digital, 2017). Research comparing transgender males and females suggests mental health and victimisation may be more strongly associated with SAAB than current gender identity (Millet, Longworth and Arcelus, 2017). For example, transgender males report higher anxiety (Bouman et al, 2017), suicidal ideation (Peterson et al, 2016), self-harm and sexual abuse (Holt, Skagberg and Dunsford, 2016) than transgender females.…”

Risk Factors for Eating Disorder Psychopathology within the Treatment Seeking Transgender Population: The Role of Cross‐Sex Hormone Treatment

“…Factors associated with, and found to mediate, eating disorder psychopathology in the cisgender population may be particularly pertinent among transgender people. This is because research has consistently shown treatment seeking transgender people to report high levels of mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression (e.g., Arcelus, Claes, Witcomb, Marshall, & Bouman, ; Bouman et al ., ; Bouman, Davey, Meyer, Witcomb, & Arcelus, ; Dhejne, Van Vlerken, Heylens, & Arcelus, ; Millet, Longworth, & Arcelus, ), perfectionism (Khoosal et al ., ), and interpersonal problems (Davey, Bouman, Meyer, & Arcelus, ) in comparison to cisgender people. Therefore, these factors may be important when exploring risk factors for eating disorder psychopathology within the transgender population.…”

Sexual health among transgender people in Sweden

“…Transgender people may face various health concerns that are directly and indirectly related to exposure to prejudice, discrimination and violence (Kattari et al, 2015;Meyer, 2007). Furthermore, transgender people report experiences of health care services being inadequate and insensitive to their needs (Kanamori & Cornelius-White, 2016;Lombardi, 2001;Roller, Sedlak & Draucker, 2015), poor mental health and elevated suicide risk (Bauer et al, 2015;Dhejne et al, 2011;Dhejne et al, 2016;Millet et al, 2017), and high prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, STIs (Baral et al, 2013;Meyer, 2007).…”
