      This is extra terrible because we were JUST TALKING about the fact that if you start SSRIs you need to be prepared to take them lifelong because they have withdrawal symptoms, that's what killed David Foster Wallace

      You are like some fucking AI that doesn’t understand the semantic content of a sentence but scans the internet for associated words that look like a reply. You don’t take SSRIs *in order to create withdrawal symptoms at a later date.* Can you not see how stupid that claim is?

      Yeah and nobody starts HRT with the intention of having withdrawal symptoms later on either

      It all comes down to your absurd, disgusting, offensive claim that dysphoria isn't real and urgent like depression is, it's a passing fancy

      SSRIs and similar drugs are taken to alter the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, hopefully permanently, in a way that requires the lifelong use of medication to maintain but allows the brain to function better than it did before

      No, it doesn’t. You aren’t prescribed SSRIs with the intention of creating a life-long dependency. You are prescribed SSRIs with the intention of curing your depression and then getting you off SSRIs as soon as possible. Nor are they the only treatment offered.

      SSRI's dont cure depression, they mitigate the symptoms. Chronic patients will have to take SSRI's in perpetuity, while Acute patients should ideally wean off the drug after resolving their other life issues with assistance from the SSRI. This is such a bad analogy.

      I didn’t bring SSRIs into this, Arthur did. If you think it’s a shitty analogy have a word with him. I’ve had SSRIs, they are not meant to be taken in perpetuity, and they are not meant to be taken in isolation.

      Depression isn’t *caused* by a lack of serotonin. SSRIs increase the levels of serotonin in your brain but this does not cure depression in itself. Serotonin levels change overnight but SSRIs take weeks to have any effect on your depression.

      The "cause" of depression really doesn't matter that much and, much like dysphoria and being trans, most likely isn't traceable to any single magic factor Language about how various treatments "only mask the underlying cause" is not helpful to anyone

      In the realm of talk therapy, the *least* effective modalities have historically been the original analytic school in the model of Freud, "Let's figure out why you're so unhappy", and the most have been the ones based on CBT, "Let's train you to just stop thinking bad thoughts"

          It's like WHO CARES about this shit So what if you think trans women are caused by being abused by their fathers and hating men or something You think saying that, and even convincing someone of that idea, will actually magically make them not trans anymore

          We went through this all before The Exodus International crew were fully convinced they became gay men because they had cruel fathers who hurt their mothers and internalized a self-loathing view of heterosexual love Some believed it PASSIONATELY and desperately sought "healing"

          *YOU* said that SSRIs cured depression by adjusting levels of serotonin. *I* said that serotonin levels alone will not treat depression because low serotonin is not the cause of depression, and that SSRIs are only one of the treatments available.

          You keep doming this. Instead of following the flow of an argument you google depression then note I didn’t specify CBT one of the alternatives I alluded to and then fling Freud into this as if I had endorsed him.
