The causes of a health emergency are often very similar to the causes of an emergency threatening to life, which includes medical emergencies and natural disasters, although the range of incidents that can be categorized here is far greater than those that cause a danger to life (such as broken limbs, which do not usually cause death, but immediate intervention is required if the person is to recover properly).
gender dysphoria. 1. a psychological condition marked by significant emotional distress and impairment in life functioning, caused by a lack of congruence between gender identity and biological sex assigned at birth. Also called gender identity disorder.
Gender identity is the gender that a person identifies with or feels themselves to be. While biological sex and gender identity are the same for most people, this is not the case for everyone.t's not known exactly how many people experience gender dysphoria, because many people with the condition never seek help. A study carried out in Scotland in 1999 found that around 1 in every 12,500 people may have the condition, although some people believe this is a significant underestimate.
