Absolutely. Most of the SSRI's (as well as the less-selective ones) don't really alter the underlying affective problems appreciably. They just move the temporary setpoint-- but the system tends to respond by regulating to offset the changes anyway.

(Not to get too far off track, but this is another reason why I have some skepticism about medications in this class or related ones-- for ANY pediatric condition, actually.)
