Early diagnosing and treatment is important for a better outcome. There is now way to "cure" this disorder, but it is evident that with counseling for the patient and their families, friends and loved ones that people with this disorder live happier and longer lives.

Individual and family therapy is recommended for children, while it is recommended that adults attend individual or couples therapy. Even with hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery gender identity disorder still occurs.
