WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC
No previous study has examined all-cause and suicide mortalities of gender-referred adolescents compared with matched controls nor while controlling for psychiatric morbidity.The effects of medical gender reassignment on suicide risk in this population are not known.
WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS
Gender dysphoria per se does not seem to predict neither all-cause nor suicide mortality in gender-referred adolescents.
Main predictor of mortality in this population is psychiatric morbidity, and medical gender reassignment does not have an impact on suicide risk.
HOW THIS STUDY MIGHT AFFECT RESEARCH, PRACTICE OR POLICY
It is of utmost importance to identify and appropriately treat mental disorders in adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria to prevent suicide; in addition, health policies need to ensure that accurate information is provided to professionals along these lines.
That was the Finnish Study released last week. A German study released today specifically focused on Puberty Blockers. Nothing… No change in suicide rates.

What a total shock that self mutilation isn't a cure for depression. What's next, alcohol not being a cure for depression?
