Declining hormone production can lead to mood changes in men. When androgen levels – testosterone and DHEA – begin to fall in the late 30s or early 40s, a man may experience changes in energy, stamina and drive. Depression, mental fatigue and ‘burnout’ are also symptomatic of andropause. When progesterone and testosterone levels decrease but estrogen stays high, a common scenario in andropause, a man becomes estrogen dominant. Minus the calming effects of progesterone and the energizing effects of testosterone and DHEA, he can be prone to depression. Estrogen dominance can also trigger a host of other health problems, some of them life-threatening. High estrogen in combination with high cortisol (common with stress overload) is the double-whammy that lowers testosterone even more.

If you are a man over 40 who is affected by depression and/or mood swings, it is important to find out if undetected hormonal imbalance could be a root cause. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can safely treat existing imbalance; lifestyle changes and support from the right natural supplements are other strategies that can help restore your positive outlook on life.
