Factores de riesgo que atraviesan las personas transgénero y propuesta de intervención psicoterapéutica para su óptima salud mental

Abstract

The LGTBIQ+ community throughout history has been present in their struggle for equal rights, allowing the implementation of new laws and regulations that help improve the welfare of the individual, achieving a worldwide revolution of rights. But, even having achieved this change, the acceptance by society remains one of the greatest difficulties, especially for the trans community, which is the most vulnerable group. The objective of this research is to analyze the risk factors of transgender people and develop a proposal for intervention that will allow for an improvement in mental health, due to the marginalization they suffer from the social environment in which they are found. The study was carried out under a cognitive-behavioral approach, which will help to formulate an intervention proposal addressing the risk factors that are present in transgender people throughout their lives. It uses bibliographic research and the use of the deductive method, exploring the crises and difficulties suffered by the transgender community and the consequences they generate. It was concluded that although the transgender community has achieved many advances in areas such as medicine and health, the context has not accepted them due to the social and cultural prejudices that affect the vast majority of trans people, generating states of isolation and depression that can develop suicidal thoughts.
