Abstract
Though many consider transgender persons as abnormal people those at birth that have a mismatched sex and gender. Cisgender people discriminate against transgender individuals commonly because of their body, look, voice and more. In addition, this case puts a lot of pressure on their mental health and affects their overall/psychological well-being. The mental health of transgender people needs to be heard of and addressed more and more. The time has come to take a call on their mental health and give it proper solution in the same way as cisgender people are getting. In this study, an attempt is made to study the mental health of transgender people and the various factors that affect them. For this, the Mental Health Quality of Life Questionnaire has been used to assess the mental health status of transgender people. Dependent variable used is psychological well-being; independent variables are self-image, mood, independence, relationships, daily activities, physical health and future. Data has been taken from transgender people who lived in different areas of Patna and here multiple linear regression analysis is employed to study the interaction. The results indicate a significant direct effect of outcome with all the selected independent variables on transgender people’s psychological well-being. The findings clearly imply that transgender people endure severe systemic prejudice, and access to healthcare and social assistance is often insufficient, all resulting in adverse mental health outcomes.
