In reply to How is testosterone connected to depression?, posted by cb776 on January 16, 2011, at 7:10:59
I have a friend that was suffering from chronic fatigue (which often comes from depression) and went on testosterone replacement therapy, after everything else came up negative. He did have low levels, originally.. but after a few months the added testosterone's effects diminished and he became exhausted again.
I am not sure its a good treatment for fatigue and depression even when your levels test low.
supplementing hormones may allow your own production of them to atrophy. It seems risky in the long run.
