Andropause correlates directly with depression, it’s a major player in the notorious mid-life crisis period men face in their late 40´s to late 50´s.
There are a wide variety of symptoms and conditions hormone-wrecked men experience during this mid-life transition. It’s everything from the mental (i.e. irritability) to the physical (loss of libido, lack of energy, and weight gain.) Depression, left untreated, can be a disabling condition.
Andropause depression is due to dropping levels of testosterone. Low testosterone levels cause many depressive symptoms, among them, a general indifference to events surrounding you, the inability to concentrate, extreme irritability, and memory loss.
We might stress over things that might otherwise be worry-free in a normal situation and brood over certain matters. Our memory might go down the drain and we begin to see our lives in a negative light.
