(Huddinge, Sweden) According to a study by Dr. Cecilia Dhejne of the Karolinska University Hospital, transsexual people are at high risk of suicide and psychological problems. They also are at three times the risk of dying early.
Her study shows that transsexuals have a five times higher risk of being treated for attempted suicide compared to a control group. They also receive psychiatric care three times more frequently than others, the study, which has not yet been published, reveals.Despite the negatives, Dr. Dhejne claims that transsexuals lead happier lives after surgery. Okay.
The number of people who apply to change their sex in Sweden increases every year. To date, nearly 700 people have changed their sex in Sweden. Most have changed from male to female.
