What other health issues should I be concerned about?

It is not unusual for Straight Partners or Partners of Trans People to experience mental health challenges following discovery or disclosure. New depression and anxiety, or worsening of these conditions if they were already present are reported in the weeks and months following disclosure. SP and PTP report insomnia, inability to eat, sleep or concentrate, and some report suicidal ideation. OurPath recommends working with your primary care physician, therapist or psychiatrist to ensure a holistic approach to your mental and physical health during this time. In the United States, the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 800-273-8255.
