The clinical value of e-records and other e-health tools has been argued for years, but one of the lesser discussed issues is what impact they have on the art of general practice.

New Study Finds That Transgender Identity Is Not A Mental Disorder

New findings suggest that it would be appropriate to remove the diagnosis of transgender from the current classification as a mental disorder in the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD), according to Psych Central.

The research, led by the National Institute of Psychiatry, interviewed 250 transgender people and found that it is not a mental disorder as once believed. Apparently, distress and impairment are the two essential characteristics of a mental disorder, and they found transgender people can experience some distress but not because they are transgender, but because of social rejection and violence.
