There are no evidence-based treatments for<unk> . As part of its assessment of the ICD-10’s diagnostic categories related to<unk><unk> , the World Health Organization’s Working Group on the Classification of<unk>  Disorders and<unk>  Health conducted a thorough literature search and found no evidence that a person’s concern about their<unk><unk>  requires any unique therapeutic interventions other than common treatments for distress, anxiety, depression, and other conditions. For people who are uncomfortable with or distressed by their<unk><unk>  or by experiencing same-sex attraction, evidence-based strategies for alleviating distress include “challenging negative stereotypes, seeking social support, and self-acceptance.” Supportive interventions include gay affirmative psychotherapy, which helps lesbian, gay, and bisexual people examine and accept their<unk><unk>  and related<unk>  relationships, and lesbian, gay, and bisexual support groups, which can help counteract and buffer minority stress, marginalization, and isolation. The current guidelines of many mental health associations direct therapists to recognize that non-heterosexual<unk> s are not disorders; to understand the effects of stigma on lesbian, gay, and bisexual people; and to recognize that<unk><unk>  change efforts” are ineffective and often harmful. In 2009, an American Psychological Association task force reported that offering appropriate therapeutic interventions to individuals who wish they could change their<unk><unk>  requires “therapist acceptance, support, and understanding of clients and the facilitation of clients’ active coping, social support, and identity exploration and development, without imposing a specific<unk><unk>  identity outcome.”
