Gender-Affirming Psychiatric Care is dedicated to providing affirming, intersectional, and evidence-informed psychiatric care for transgender, non-binary, and/or gender-expansive (TNG) people. The handbook discusses epidemiology, the neuroscience of gender, and psychopharmacological considerations. The minority stress model is invoked throughout, with attention to multiply marginalized communities: those who are Two-Spirit, Black, Asian American, and Pacific Islander, those who are neurodivergent and disabled, and migrants, refugees, and unhoused people. Clinical discussions cover trauma-informed care, developmentally appropriate care across the lifespan, gender affirmation in the context of eating disorders, substance use disorders, pregnancy, and serious mental illness, care in the settings of incarceration and gender identity conversion efforts, systems-level change, collecting gender identity information in electronic health records, and building gender-affirming clinical environments"--
