Adolescents with Gender Incongruence - Special Case Constellations Abstract: Adolescents with gender incongruence and gender identity variants have a high rate of accompanying mental disorders, such as depression, autism spectrum disorders, or eating disorders. Yet, the interaction between gender incongruence, gender dysphoric distress, and accompanying mental disorders is complex and varies considerably from case to case. We need an individualized approach and careful professional assessment to help those affected and their guardians make informed decisions regarding possible treatment steps in complex case constellations. Maintaining careful process support and planning of the treatment steps can help to resolve blocked development processes in adolescents with gender incongruence and accompanying psychological disorders or in young people with unstable gender identity development.
