Specializes in Psychiatry

Best bet: Is to sit down and discuss your concerns with a psychiatrist that specializes in this particular area. They are keenly adept and explaining and helping you understand what might be going on. Attached a link some info on this particular topic. http://www.dsm5.org/documents/gender%20dysphoria%20fact%20sheet.pdf
