Cenegenics Complete Guide to Healthy Aging - (Page 21) “I have been to numerous doctors (gynecologist, endocrinologist and II. the Universal truth: Aging internal medicine) looking for some answers to certain problems.

And Depression & Emotional Fluctuations: A Roller Coaster Loss of hormones often catapults men and women onto a wild emotional ride. Depression is all too frequent. Changes in body composition and reduced sexual pleasure, compounded with lifestyle factors—such as changing family roles, shifting social networks and an “empty nest”—can push depression into overdrive. New studies show low testosterone correlates with chronic symptoms of depression and other psychological disorders. The rise in availability and use of antidepressant drugs compounds the problem. Using antidepressants is simply a Band-Aid®, covering the issue. It doesn’t address the basic concern, which is restoring energy and self-esteem. I’m grateful to finally obtain hard proof of why I had been feeling the way I did.” —J.
