## Social Transition
#### Social transition improves depression, anxiety, and psychological function
* [Journal of Adolescent Health: Connolly et al. 16](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1054139X1630146X)
* Analyzes consensus on the effectiveness of **social transition**
* > Gender-affirming medical therapy and supported social transition in childhood have been shown to correlate with **improved psychological functioning** for gender-variant children and adolescents.
* [American Academy of Pediatrics: Olson et al. 16](https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/137/3/e20153223)
* Socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have:
* **Normative** levels of **depression**
* **Minimal** elevations in **anxiety**
* **Lower rates** of **internalizing psychopathology** (a spectrum of conditions characterized by negative emotion) then non-socially transitioned people
* [Trujillo et al. 17](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5996383/)
* Helping trans individuals cope with harassment and rejection, particularly by drawing on social support, may **promote better mental health**, which could help **reduce suicidality** in this population.
* [Durwood et al. 17](https://www.jaacap.org/article/S0890-8567%2816%2931941-4/fulltext)
* **Children who socially transition** report levels of depression and anxiety which **closely match** levels reported by **cisgender children**, indicating social transition massively decreases the risk factor of both.
