Description
Maryam Assareh and co-authors assess, in a 2024 study, the mental health of people with gender dysphoria in Iran and their attitudes toward suicide. This group faces deep distress and elevated suicide risk, and local data were scarce. Seventy-eight participants completed three standard questionnaires covering general psychological health, depression severity, and attitudes toward suicide in social crisis.
Over half showed significant mental health problems, and about twenty-seven percent met the mark for severe depression. Attitudes toward suicide scored in a range the authors call concerning, matching earlier studies of similar groups. Distress and depression each tracked closely with more accepting attitudes toward suicide. The authors urge targeted mental health services and health policies shaped to this group's needs, with suicide prevention built into wider support systems rather than left as an afterthought.
