Healthcare (Mental Health)

This legislative resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Health to conduct a study on the link between gender-affirming hormone medications and mental health issues in people under 26. The study must review medical literature, examine data on psychiatric symptoms like psychosis and mood disorders, and consult with various healthcare experts. By February 2027, the department must submit a written report of its findings and any recommendations to the House Committee on Health and Welfare. The bill directly affects the Louisiana Department of Health and individuals receiving gender-affirming care in the state.
