Things To Keep In Mind When Seeking Treatment For Psychiatric Emergency (For Gender Dysphoric Patients ) At Government Hospital


1. Only try to get emergency counselling and do not get admitted to the goverment hospital for further treatment, because the doctors will then start to treat you as a guinea pig and try to experiment on you and even have student doctors asking you all types of questions. Basically they would be interested in only learning from your case. So aviod getting admitted to a government hospital for psychiatric emergency.

2. Do not consult the endocrinology department or the plastic surgery department for a further treatment for SRS because most of the government hospitals have a written rule that they do not want to treat gender dysphoric patients.

Even if the doctors from psychiatric depratment ask you to seek traetment at their hospital, just avoid it.Because you do not want to get insulted by doctors from other departments due to their narrow thinking or ignorance about the matter.


Hope this will help you avoid the pitfalls.
