Hi all,
Been a while since I last posted on this board. I won't go into full details here, but I have borderline low testosterone, and have had a diagnosis of Dysthymia.
I'm 34 years old btw, 5'7'' 165 lbs, have had plenty of blood tests, and just had many more last week.
I'm aware that low testosterone can bring about Dysthymia, but has there been any studies showing the reverse happens too ?
Has there been any studies showing that Dysthymia alone can bring about low Testosterone ? My *main* complaint is low libido, that's been going on for 8 years now. I'm also quite anxious, which by many standard is what Dysthymia is ; much anxiety.
I'm really trying to dig up scientific evidence that Dysthymia can cause Testosterone to go down.
If any of you hold such paper or link to such paper, I'd be very grateful that you bring it to my attention.
Many thanks,
Marc
