Prevalence and Correlates of Clinically Elevated Depressive Symptoms in a Nationwide Sample of Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender Diverse Young Adults in the United States: Cross-Sectional Survey Study
The high prevalence of depressive symptoms among TGD young adults in this study sample highlights the need for comprehensive mental health evaluation and support in this population. Depression risk is increased among certain subgroups, such as those with low family support. These findings are valuable in informing the development of interventions that aim to improve mental health outcomes among TGD young people.
