N2  - Gender dysphoria is very rare, but has frequent psychiatric comorbidity. In addition, risk of suicide is higher in patients with gender dysphoria than for the general population. Treatment of gender dysphoria is not determined, and more aggressive treatment is required for patients with suicidal ideation. No case involving electroconvulsive therapy of a gender dysphoria patient has been reported in South Korea. We discuss a 24 year-old man given electroconvulsive therapy for gender dysphoria with severe mood dysregulation and suicidal ideation.<p /> <p>Language: ko</p>
