@BathysphereHat But what'f they regret having had CPR performed on them? Shouldn't they go thru a psych evaluation first? These days, beings'll do't on like, everyone, even children. Don't ya think it's a bit worrying where our society's headed? I'm pretty sure all that talk on CPR these days's just emergency responders tryna get rich off't.  @BathysphereHat@mastodon.online @BathysphereHat @Girgias I agree that gender affirming care is critical. I’ve received it myself and it’s amazing. I wanted to point out that lithium reduces suicide by up to 90% even in people with unipolar depression or those who don’t respond to lithium’s mood stabilizing effects.  @BathysphereHat @BathysphereHat and we might want to add the cis kids with delayed puberty also struggling less with sex and gender stuff before they are ready. @BathysphereHat@mastodon.online i have always maintained the thought that HRT is like anti-depressants to us trans people. @BathysphereHat Transphobic people will unfortunately respond that it foesn't matter and that trans people deserve to be depressed for trying to be of a gender other than the one assigned at birth 😞  @BathysphereHat I think I said something similar to @hackermatic when she came out to me almost a decade ago. Like, I wished any antidepressant I tried was nearly so effective for my own depression….um, turns out HRT was exactly that effective for me as well 😅 would seem (I'm not an expert) to provide strong support for a reduction in sucides after GAC |
Like, the success rate for CPR is only around 45%*, but we still tell people to do it EVERY TIME someone's heart stops beating.
*This is for people who receive CPR after cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting.
