Landmark Study Shows Suicide, Psychiatric Conditions Much Higher In Transgender People
 [WIRE] A new Danish landmark study finds that suicide rates and psychiatric conditions are much higher among trans-identifying people.Trans-identifying people in Denmark had a suicide death rate 3.5 times higher and a suicide attempt rate 7.7 times higher than people who did not identify as transgender, according to the study, which was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. There were 92 suicide attempts and 12 suicide deaths among the study’s 3,759 trans-identifying people between 1980 and 2021. The study analyzed the medical and legal gender change records of nearly seven million people in Denmark, including the nearly 3,800 transgender people, over the last four decades. Trans-identifying people also tended to die younger overall, whether by suicide or something else, the study found. However, suicide rates in both groups decreased over the four decades the study examined. "Results suggest that transgender individuals had significantly higher rates of suicide attempt, suicide mortality, suicide-unrelated mortality, and all-cause mortality compared with the nontransgender population," the study said. Meanwhile, the rate of psychiatric conditions was higher for the trans-identifying group.
