Information: - A psychologist is a professional who evaluates and studies behavior and mental processes (see also psychology). Typically, psychologists must have completed a university degree in psychology, which is a master's degree in some countries and a doctorate in others. This definition of psychologist is non-exclusive; in most jurisdictions, members of other professions (such as counselors and psychiatrists) can also evaluate, diagnose, treat, and study mental processes. Some psychologists, such as clinical and counseling psychologists, provide mental health care, and some psychologists, such as social or organizational psychologists conduct research and provide consultation services. - A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry, the branch of medicine devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, study, and treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors, unlike psychologists, and must evaluate patients to determine whether their symptoms are the result of a physical illness, a combination of physical and mental ailments, or strictly psychiatric. - Gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder (GID) is the dysphoria (distress) a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth. In these cases, the assigned sex and gender do not match the person's gender identity, and the person is transgender. There is evidence suggesting that twins who identify with a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth may do so not just due to psychological or behavioral causes, but also biological ones related to their genetics or exposure to hormones before birth. - Gender dysphoria in children or gender identity disorder in children ( GIDC ) is a formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe children who experience significant discontent ( gender dysphoria ) with their biological sex , assigned gender , or both . GIDC was formalized in the third revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM - III ) in 1980 and primarily referenced gender non-conforming behaviors . GIDC remained in the DSM from 1980 to 2013 , when it was replaced with the diagnosis of '' gender dysphoria '' in the fifth revision ( DSM - 5 ) , in an effort to diminish the stigma attached to gender variance while maintaining a diagnostic route to gender affirming medical interventions such as hormone therapy and surgery . Controversy surrounding the pathologization and treatment of cross-gender identity and behaviors , particularly in children , has been evident in the literature since the 1980s . Proponents argue that therapeutic intervention helps children be more comfortable in their bodies and can prevent adult gender identity disorder . Opponents say that the equivalent therapeutic interventions with gays and lesbians ( titled conversion or reparative therapy ) have been strongly questioned or declared unethical by the American Psychological Association , American Psychiatric Association , American Association of Social Workers and American Academy of Pediatrics . The World Professional Association for Transgender Health ( WPATH ) states that treatment aimed at trying to change a person 's gender identity and expression to become more congruent with sex assigned at birth '' is no longer considered ethical . '' Critics also argue that the GIDC diagnosis and associated therapeutic interventions rely on the assumption that an adult transsexual identity is undesirable , challenging this assumption along with the lack of clinical data to support outcomes and efficacy . Gender identity disorder in children is more heavily linked with adult homosexuality than...
