Hormone Therapy Linked to Reduced Depression in Transgender Adults, New Study Reveals

A new study has found that gender-affirming hormone therapy is linked to lower depression in transgender adults, suggesting a potential mental health benefit in addition to its physical effects. The research suggests that accessing hormone replacement therapy can lead to improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression among transgender individuals. However, the study's findings also highlight the need for more comprehensive mental health support services for this population. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
