From the WebMD Archives. Feb. 3, 2004 -- Low testosterone levels may cause clinical depression in older men, a new study shows. Age related decreases in the male sex hormone testosterone are common in older men; some 30% of men over age 55 have it. Low levels of the hormone can cause symptoms of fatigue, a decreased sex drive, and irritability.
As testosterone is a male hormone, thought to play a factor in assertiveness and aggression, men who take female hormones may become less assertive. Some men may lose interest in previously pleasurable activities, including sex. These changes may reverse themselves once the female hormones are discontinued, but some men may develop depression from both the use of hormones and from self esteem issues that may arise from physical changes.
