Gender dysphoria is very rare, but has frequent psychiatric comorbidity. In addition, risk of suicideis higher in patients with gender dysphoria than for the general population. Treatment ofgender dysphoria is not determined, and more aggressive treatment is required for patients withsuicidal ideation. No case involving electroconvulsive therapy of a gender dysphoria patient hasbeen reported in South Korea. We discuss a 24 year-old man given electroconvulsive therapy forgender dysphoria with severe mood dysregulation and suicidal ideation.
