For a time I had a condition that could be called "Identity Dysphoria" this differs from Gender Dysphoria in the sense that my entire identity would just swap over and over again. I would also feel things that I didn't have the body parts to support sensually.

It was a real mess.

I doubt therapy would work, since therapy does not address or effectively treat paranormally sourced conditions.

The feelings experienced through these "feels more real" than what is apparent by right of birth.

Due to the lack of variety in the instances of Gender Dysphoria, even if it is paranormally sourced, there is a lack of variation .. (no identity swapping) Since it is common to identify with the strongest internal signal... telling the difference would be quite the challenge.

If God didn't make mistakes would there be need for talk therapy nor medications?
I meant in making them male or female. There are disorders, disease, and death because of the fall.

There have always been eunuchs.
We do that with cats. If you get them young enough they are up and playing as if it were nothing. But one of the male cats had already started to develop and he got knocked out for two or three weeks before he began to adjust. The daddy had been grooming him to take over so it was a real shock to his system.

The ethical implications of prescribing drugs to children are hotly debated. Critics argue that children may not fully understand the long-term consequences of such treatments.

I think medications for delusions would probably be better. But I’m not a doctor. The important thing is to find a psychologist/psychiatrist who isn’t in favor of feeding into the delusion.
Yup. Unfortunately many of them are WOKE.

An argument could be made that the use of drugs like that would be witchcraft.
Revelation 9:21 φαρμάκων pharmakōn This is the Greek word we get pharmacy from.

God does not make mistakes. Everyone has issues they have to deal with in life. NONE of us can make it though life without help from God. He writes the book of our life at or before conception. He give us angels to help us to become the people He is creating us to be. Psalm 139 16

It is difficult to understand why God allows things like this. But He can and does cause Good to come out of whatever situation we find ourselves in. He has all the answers and all the solutions.

I disagree.
You can translate that scripture anyway you want. My son died from a drug overdose, from drugs he was prescribed by doctors at the beginning. There is a big law suit but it does not seem to be going anywhere. Purdue Pharma was initially proposed to be $6 billion. This settlement aimed to provide compensation to victims. However, the U.S. Supreme Court recently rejected this settlement, meaning the case may proceed to further litigation.

Much of this has to do with the devil's efforts to normalize these abominations as acceptable and foundational.
Once normalized, these wicked perversions will spread like a brush fire in California. Look for these things to possess over half the nation's population within a generation. Pray that God nips this in the bud.

I’m so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you in his love.

This nonsense all started when same sex “marriage” became legal in 2015, nationwide.

“It won’t affect you”
“Love is love”

LIES!

One possible solution is to apply what the church knows about sacraments to your entire neighborhood. Then everyone in the neighborhood would encounter the kingdom of God ... you know, instead of the usual occultic stuff that is floating through the air. . .

This truth goes across the board of all Christian beliefs and practices. We cannot allow the habits and free expression of the faith to become outside the norm. I often wear Jesus tee-shirts and hats when we go shopping or out to eat. For over 200 years, the USA has been a Christian nation (despite what Obama says), and I believe in its heart it still is. We just need to keep it public and not hide it away in churches the way secularists want us too.

We can pray for them. Even we can pray for our whole city. We can intercede and do spiritual warfare for others.
