(You know who the vast majority of people who have to balance the risks and benefits of staying on estrogen replacement therapy vs the symptoms of withdrawal are? People taking it for menopause Which is a "natural phase of life" just like puberty btw)

You don’t prescribe SSRI’s *in order to create a dependence on SSRIs* - you prescribe them for depression or OCD. Almost all children with gender dysphoria will grow out of it; puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones turn dysphoria into a life-long medical condition.

And we don’t just prescribe SSRIs willy-nilly, and as a permanent solution. We try to determine the root cause; we also try out alternative, non-medical solutions. The point isn’t to perpetuate depression, it is to eliminate it.
