Testosterone Depression
Testosterone is a hormone, which affects mood, energy, weight and sexual arousal. These are main factors, which contribute to a person’s comfort and overall disposition.

Low testosterone levels can cause decreased muscle mass, lower bone mineral density, reduced appetite, lower libido, irritability and fatigue.
Depression score will increase with age, in parallel with the drop in free testosterone. Age, loss of weight and lack of exercise are also connected with the depression score. There is a strongest connection, which emerged between low free testosterone and depression. No person wants to be depressed, but it seems depression scores tend to go up with age. Testosterone depression is finally being recognized as a widespread and very serious problem, not only among the old people, but also among middle age men.
