N2  - The role of the mental health professional, and of the psychiatrist in particular, is evolving and changing. As the recognition of transsexualism and gender identity disorder expands across the transgender spectrum, it has been recommended that gender dysphoria should replace existing diagnostic terminology. Patient-focused care is evolving and this ar ticle considers the limitations of current healthcare settings and how the mental health professional can support patients undergoing the real-life experience.
