We all know about testosterone's importance when it comes to libido, fat loss, and longevity. But new research shows that testosterone can also play an important role in your state of mind, including how well your brain works.
That’s why low testosterone has been linked with symptoms like mood swings, increased stress, and depression. Low testosterone related issues can also put a strain on your relationships and lead to feelings of disappointment or rejection.
According to Science Daily, testosterone may have significant anti-depressant properties. They printed a recent study stating that "Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, appears to have antidepressant properties,... [however] the exact mechanisms underlying its effects have remained unclear".
Scientists discovered that a specific pathway in the brain called the hippocampus (a brain region involved in memory formation and regulation of stress responses), plays a major role in mediating testosterone's effects.
