What is Testosterone Treatment, Internalizing Symptoms, and Body Image Dissatisfaction in Transgender Boys about?
## Objective: Many transgender adolescents experience clinically elevated anxiety and depression. testosterone (t), used as a gender affirming treatment, may reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. we assessed the effect of gender affirming t treatment on internalizing symptoms, body image dissatisfaction, and activation patterns within the amygdala-prefrontal cortex circuit in transgender adolescent boys. ## Method: Symptoms of generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, suicidality and body image dissatisfaction were measured by self-report and brain activation was measured during a face processing task with functional mri in a group of 19 adolescent transgender boys receiving t treatment and 23 not receiving gonadal hormone treatment (ut). ## Results: Severity of anxiety and depression was significantly lower in the t treated group relative to the ut group, along with a trend of lower suicidality. the t group also reported less distress with body features and exhibited stronger connectivity within the amygdala-prefrontal cortex circuit compared to the ut group. finally, group differences on depression and suicidality were directly associated with body image dissatisfacti
