Popis: Gender dysphoria is a medical term used in the American Psychiatric Association (APA) textbook to describe the distress of the transgender person in the face of a sense of inadequacy between their assigned sex and their gender identity. The work we present is based on a clinical case in which we have retained the diagnosis of gender dysphoria comorbid with other psychiatric disorders after several close consultation appointments, and through which we will address the socio-cultural aspect of this disorder within our society Adults with gender dysphoria can benefit from psychological, medical and surgical treatment in France. However, this dysphoria rarely appears in adulthood, often being present since childhood and adolescence and generating difficulties in family, social and school life, particularly at the time of puberty. It is necessary to take adequate care of patients with gender dysphoria, often generating psychological suffering responsible for numerous comorbidities.
