Researchers affiliated with the Boston University School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School, and University of Michigan School of Public Health, conducted the expansive study, published at the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The study, which included more than 1,200 college students with gender identity issues across 71 U.S. college campuses, found that, across commonly used mental health measures, 78 percent of the gender-disturbed students met the criteria for one or more of the outcomes of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-injury, and suicidality.
Having gender identity issues was associated with 4.3 times higher odds of having at least one mental health problem, according to the study which utilized data that came from the 2015-2017 Healthy Minds Study, an annual survey.
Across all the mental health measures used, the gender-disturbed students had a significantly higher prevalence of mental health issues than students comfortable with their biological sex.
Results of the study showed more than half of gender-disturbed students were found to screen positively for depression (58%) and reported self-injurious behavior (53%), while 28% of students comfortable with their biological sex screened positive for depression and 20% reported self-injurious behavior.
In addition, more than one-third of gender-disturbed students reported serious suicidal ideation within the past year compared to just one in ten students comfortable with their biological sex.

Obvious observation!
How about “common sense” would lead almost everyone to same conclusion?
New study finds: water is wet!
100% of those who reject their own biology have mental issues.
But, but, but don’t call ‘gender dysphoria’ a mental health issue! The Left has spent years convincing those who have no core values, that people with ‘gender issues’ are as normal as heterosexuals!
(As a matter of fact, wasn’t there a recent story declaring that heterosexuality is wrong?)
Lol...not funny...but funny.
Colleges today are nothing more that insane asylums. I posted and article last week of a College that had a “no white people day” and when a Professor protested it as being racist they attacked him..

“78 percent of gender-disturbed students met the criteria for at least one mental health problem.”
Wanna bet how many of them are Democrats?
The disease of liberalism.
Insanity is now politically correct.
Unexpected.
This shows that they belong in the military, not in college.
Spot on.
Our medical community would do much better in assisting people with “gender issues” to learn how to live with the way they were born.
So the criteria miss 22 percent of the total.
Liberals reading this study will conclude that those who are seen as confused about their sexuality are subjected to horrible stress by the rest of us. Thus, they pass laws outlawing conversion therapy or any other corrective measure which they see as adding further stress to these individuals.
Don’t expect any liberal reading this report to come to what we would consider as reasonable conclusions.
No kidding, they are still missing 22% of them.
It’s over 40% of those who identify as transsexual will attempt suicide. Once they start taking synthetic hormones (mind altering drugs) They no longer have the mental capacity to function in society
Shazammmm!!!! I’d have never have guessed! /S
