Gender-affirming surgeries were associated with a reduction in mental health treatment.
Five years post-surgery, gender-affirming chest and genital surgery recipients respectively used 1.87 (95% CI 0.88; 2.80) and 5.03 (95% Cl 3.62;
6.44) fewer mental health services per annum.
Mental health prescription utilization also decreased for chest surgery recipients [1.26 (95% C| 0.42; 2.10) fewer prescriptions at five years] but were not significantly different to the reference period for genital surgery recipients [0.01 (95% CI -1.03; 1.06) at five years]. Annual government spending on mental healthcare decreased by AU$430 (95% CI 270; 591) [US$310 (95% Cl 194; 425)] for chest surgery recipients and AU$884 (95% C| 545; 1,222) [US$636 (95% Cl
