PY - 2019 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Psychiatry, 3e AB - Different sets of criteria are used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) to diagnose Gender Dysphoria (GD) in children vs. adolescents. (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Both criteria sets emphasize incongruence between the experienced gender and the gender assigned at birth. The experienced gender can be either a traditional opposite-sex gender identity or some alternative, nontraditional gender identity that is inconsistent with the culturally specific gender roles associated with being a "man" or "woman." As with many diagnoses, an essential criterion is the presence of clinically significant distress or impairment of functioning in one or more important areas (e.g., social relationships, school). One should specify whether GD co-occurs with a disorder of sex development (DSD). For adolescents, one should also specify whether the patient has undergone a gender transition, including medical procedures to align the patient's physical appearance with his or her experienced gender identity.
