跨性别女性的抑郁症发病率高于普通人群，这有助于了解与这一群体抑郁症相关的变量。跨性别女性抑郁症的文献综述结果揭示了影响抑郁症的几个变量，包括社会支持，暴力，性工作和性别认同。少数民族的压力，应对和身份控制理论的理论结构进行了探讨，他们如何预测抑郁症的跨性别妇女。抑郁和抑郁症状已被用来预测高风险的性行为，结果喜忧参半。研究结果对治疗跨性别女性抑郁症的影响包括考虑到过渡的压力以及支持性同伴和家庭的重要性。未来的研究应该探索跨性别女性抑郁和高危行为的模型。
Rates of depression are higher in transgender women than in the general population, warranting an understanding of the variables related to depression in this group. Results of the literature review of depression in transgender women reveal several variables influencing depression, including social support, violence, sex work, and gender identity. The theoretical constructs of minority stress, coping, and identity control theory are explored in terms of how they may predict depression in transgender women. Depression and depressive symptoms have been used to predict high-risk sexual behaviors with mixed results. The implications of the findings on treating depression in transgender women include taking into account the stress of transition and the importance of supportive peers and family. Future studies should explore a model of depression and high-risk behaviors in transgender women.
