More Than 4 in 10 Transgender Adults Experience Depression, Anxiety: Survey

The recent KFF/Washington Post poll found that transgender adults reported a higher level of depression and anxiety compared to non-transgender adults

A recent survey found that transgender adults experience depression or anxiety even after transitioning into their preferred gender.

The recent KFF/Washington Post poll found that transgender adults reported a higher level of depression and anxiety compared to non-transgender adults surveyed in the past year.

“More than four in ten trans adults report feeling anxious (56%), depressed (48%), or lonely (44%), either always or often in the past 12 months,” it said.

“The share of trans adults who report these feelings in the past year is larger than the share of cisgender adults (31% report feeling anxious, 21% depressed, and 21% lonely). Trans adults are also less likely than their cisgender counterparts to report feeling happy (40% compared to 59%) or hopeful (29% compared to 50%) always or often over the past 12 months,” it added.

The survey did, however, find that transgender adults with supportive families reported a higher level of satisfaction than transgender individuals without supportive families, though it did not give specific numbers or percentages. Younger transgender adults reported higher levels of anxiety and depression than older transgender adults, though that has typically been the case between younger adults and older adults.
