What are the new research trends in Trans health ?
Why do I feel dysphoric regarding my gender identity?
There have been a lot of studies that have looked into this. There was no evidence of any neurological changes in the system, no biochemical changes in the brain, no hormonal changes either. There was a lot of theory that was looked at but they couldn’t find out. There are psychological theories regarding this but structurally and neurologically there isn’t anything. There are theories about growth, how you are brought up, and what toys you have been exposed to but none of them can be proved with certainty.
How does Dr. Mohan stay informed about the new developments in Trans health research?
One is reading articles, then there are groups that post about if there are research articles that are groundbreaking. There is also a NIMHANS Alumni group which in addition to other groups about psychiatry can help.
Then, there are conferences and CME which is Continuous Medical Education where people present new data which will help.
