Why are females (low testosterone) not depressed?

Posted by cybercafe on May 19, 2005, at 19:53:22

Okay so as I understand it, as men get older their testosterone levels may get a little lower and this can bring on depression. But even so, their testosterone levels are many, many times higher than women's.

So why is it that women aren't always depressed if their testosterone is so low?? Are the female hormones that men are lacking (estrogen? progesterone?) responsible for brightening mood as well?
