Mental Health Harms of Pediatric Gender Affirming Care (CSocD64 Side Event).

Image
Side event of the 64th Commission for Social Development on Mental Health Harms of Pediatric Gender Affirming Care. Panelists will analyze emerging medical research which reveals that for minors with gender dysphoria, gender-affirming care does not significantly improve mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety or suicide ideation and instead carries significant risks of irreversible harm, including psychiatric disorders, infertility, and sexual dysfunction. Panelists will also explore the internal dynamics of medical associations that lead them away from evidence-based treatment recommendations, highlight the evolving legislative landscape in the U.S. and abroad, and examine the relevance of U.N. documents designed to protect the well being of children and families and advance social development.
