Are You Actually Really Depressed - Or Just Experiencing Andropause?

If you're a man in your 40s or 50s and you’ve been told you're "just depressed," it might be time to ask whether you're actually experiencing the natural but impactful hormonal changes associated with andropause.

Before accepting a prescription for antidepressants, ask your GP to consider a full blood test, with hormonal biomarkers; especially if your symptoms are accompanied by fatigue, sexual dysfunction, or loss of vitality. You might not be mentally ill. You might just be hormonally imbalanced and in need of targeted support.
