Psychopathological symptoms in Spanish subjects with gender dysphoria. A cross-sectional study.

Background: Most people with gender dysphoria have to face various stressful conditions, which make them more vulnerable to the development of psychopathological symptoms.

Aims: The main goal was to compare psychopathological symptoms between individuals with gender dysphoria and those from the general population. Other secondary aims were to determine if there were differences between gender [male to females (MtFs) and female to males (FtMs)] and also according to cross-sex hormone therapy.
