Professional Diagnosis

To correctly diagnose this condition so that treatments can be administered, the patient should see a medical specialist (normally a Psychiatrist) to ensure that they do in fact suffer Gender Dysphoria / Transsexualism and not a purely Psychological condition.

This Psychiatrist needs to be trained in the understanding of Gender Dysphoria / Transsexualism. If the psychiatrist isn't trained in this understanding he/she may provide a wrong diagnosis which could lead to terrible outcomes.
