Transition of Mental Health Care for Transgender Youth Aged Between 16 and 24 Years Old.

Background: The transitional age (16-24 years old) is a clinically vulnerable period particularly important in mental health care. While several studies focus on this problem, few consider the specificity of the transgender population, a minority at risk of mental health issues. The purpose of this paper is to establish a review of the current literature addressing the transitional age and the transgender population in order to identify the issues met by this specific population in the transition of mental health care.
