> StJames, you make a valid point here and I think you are saying that it is important not to confuse cause with effect. In other words, some people might say that they are low on testosterone and that it causes a low mood. And you might say it is the other way around.
Really I was saying 2 things. What you mentioned
above is one, I do wonder if the lowered testosterone is caused by depression itself, the meds, or both. The other issue is that giving anyone significant amounts of T will make them fell different. This does not prove the T is the issue in depression, unless one can show through testing that the levels of T are not normal. It also takes a doc to decide what is normal and what is not.
