“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Dysphoria is a medical term that refers to a state of unease or dissatisfaction with life. It is characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, agitation, or dissatisfaction. Dysphoria can be a symptom of various mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and gender dysphoria.
Symptoms of dysphoria can include:
Treatment for dysphoria typically depends on the underlying cause of the condition. For example, if dysphoria is a symptom of depression, treatment may involve antidepressant medication and/or psychotherapy. If it is related to gender dysphoria, treatment may involve gender-affirming hormone therapy or gender confirmation surgery. It is important to seek help from a healthcare provider if you are experiencing symptoms of dysphoria, as early intervention can help improve your quality of life and prevent more serious mental health problems from developing.
