'''Hydrodysphoria''' (also known as '''waterdysphoria''' or '''acquadysphoria''') is a form of gender [[dysphoria]] that falls under [[xenodysphoria]] umbrella. It can manifest as distress,
It can be experienced in a large variety of ways, such as having water on one's body, drinking water, being fully immersed in water, immersing certain body parts, etc. The felt dysphoria can be intense to the point it may cause severe '''depressive symptoms''', intense '''anxiety''' or '''self-destructive''' thoughts. Experiencing hydrodysphoria is different from simply disliking interaction with water. Someone can experience hydrodysphoria and still find water enjoyable, even if it causes gender dysphoria.
Dysphoria can be experienced weakly or strongly, and its intensity can fluctuate during or after an interaction with water. Experiencing this type of dysphoria is not exclusive to a specific gender, as any gender identity can experience it.
