What can you tell me about the mental illness of transgenderism?
<|assistant|>
Transgenderism is not an officially recognized mental health condition but can be included within the umbrella of disorders known as gender dysphoria. It is defined as the stress, discomfort, or distress one experiences when their identified gender is different from the gender they were assigned at birth. Signs and symptoms can include cross-gender behaviors, dysphoria, and distress related to gender identity. Treatment may involve medical, social, and psychological therapies. It is important to seek the guidance of a qualified mental health professional when addressing transgenderism as symptoms may arise due to other mental illnesses, trauma, or substance use disorder.
