Depression

Depression

Depression impacts all of us at one time or another. It simply isn’t possible to have everything go well all the time. Many people may seem lucky and prosperous with the world at their fingertips. Sadly, that surface appearance completely masks the symptoms of low motivation and depression. Depression can hit you like a ton of bricks. The stigma associated with being a man with symptoms of depression can be even more demoralizing and add insult to injury. Most men refuse to admit to feelings of depression, let alone confront or deal with the causative issues.

Before tackling a problem, you must attempt to understand what is at its core. Preparing yourself for your battle is the best way to ensure success in whatever you try to overcome. Men must realize that feelings of depression do not diminish their masculinity in any way, shape, or form. Everything may be going right in their life, and they may have no reason to be upset or sad. Unfortunately, depression isn’t always to personal or external circumstances or situations.

Testosterone and Depression

Both testosterone and GH have associated with depression. Testosterone production decreases with age, hindering many other body functions. Low testosterone causes feelings of fatigue and lag, as well as reduced motivation and vigor. The result is that a once strong and inspired man now feels tired and needs rest. This demoralizing realization can be emotionally devastating to a man. That means low testosterone levels have physical effects and functional and emotional declines. This combination further exacerbates the emotional downward spiral.

The link between hypogonadism and emotional disorders is nothing new; testosterone injections were used for depression more than 60 years ago. Although pharmacological antidepressants replaced it over time, recent evidence has highlighted the beneficial effects of testosterone therapy in men suffering from depression. Testosterone treatment may be effective not only at treating depression but also for alleviating symptoms resistant to more traditional antidepressants.

Growth Hormone and Depression

The relationship between GH and well-being is also well-established, and multiple studies have revealed that administering testosterone can alleviate depressive symptoms. Researchers at St. Thomas Hospital in London led by Peter Sönksen conducted a series of experiments in the late 1990s to investigate the mechanism behind these effects. Their results revealed conclusively that GH injections altered the concentrations of certain neurotransmitters, which function as chemical messengers in the brain. GH raises the levels of B-endorphin and lowers dopamine concentrations. These two transmitters generally have opposing actions. B-endorphin sometimes referred to as the brain’s morphine is responsible for the high feeling that often results from intense exercise. Dopamine can produce feelings of agitation. Increased B-endorphin and decreased dopamine levels in patients taking antidepressants. Therefore, GH replacement therapy has antidepressant effects.

Hormones can play a role in the development and management of depression. Several hormones have been associated with depression, including:

  1. Cortisol: As I mentioned earlier, cortisol is a hormone primarily produced in the adrenal glands and plays a critical role in the body’s stress response. High cortisol levels have associated with an increased risk of depression.
  2. Thyroid hormones: Low levels of thyroid hormones has associated with increased depression. The thyroid gland produces critical hormones in regulating metabolism and energy levels.
  3. Estrogen: In women, fluctuations in estrogen levels are associated with increased depression, particularly during hormonal transition periods, such as pregnancy, the postpartum period, and menopause.
  4. Testosterone: Low testosterone levels has associated with an increased risk of depression in men.
  5. Growth hormone: Growth hormone plays a critical role in cell growth and repair and has been found to have antidepressant effects in some studies.
  6. Melatonin: Melatonin is a hormone primarily produced in the pineal gland and is critical in regulating sleep-wake cycles. Levels of melatonin are associated with an increased risk of depression.
 

The relationship between hormones and depression must be complex and multifaceted. While some studies have found associations between hormone levels and depression, the exact mechanisms underlying these associations are well understood.
