ICD-Code F66.0: Sexual maturation disorder
You are uncertain of your gender identity or sexual orientation.
Your personal identity emerges over the course of your emotional development. Your identity is the image you have of yourself. Part of your identity is your gender identity. This is your internal sense of which gender you belong to. Some people identify with the female gender, some with the male gender. Some people may feel that they belong to both genders or to no specific gender.Sexual orientation indicates who a person feels sexually attracted to. People may be attracted to people of the opposite gender, the same gender, both genders or no gender.
Feeling uncertain about your sexual orientation can be emotionally distressing. It may cause you to feel anxious or depressed. This type of uncertainty most commonly occurs as part of the process of growing into adulthood. However, it can also arise later in life.
