Ok guys, I am certain I do not know near as much about brain chemistry as you, but judging from the article it said there was no increase of testosterone in manic people, but a large increase in lutenizing hormone (LH) ... doesn't an increased amount of LH usually trigger the generation of more testosterone?
The reason I asked this in the first place .. was .., I was reading posts of people who did testosterone treatment and the "improvements" it caused sure sounded a lot like some hypoomanic symptoms : more energy, higher sex drive, more decisive, quicker temper, throwing caution to the wind and "going for it",etc ... anyway, just thought the two sounded somewhat similar.
