Of course, this doesn't mean that all females and adolescents need or prefer female psychiatrists, nor that all male psychiatrists are less effective or caring. However, it suggests that gender can be a factor to consider when seeking mental health care, especially if you have experienced trauma, abuse, or discrimination related to your gender.
