Until all these oral non-masculine drugs started coming out at 10x the price and 10x the administration rate, they used testosterone to treat male depression and it usually worked like a charm.

It was more effective too. I think it had a 50% cure rate, SSRIs are only marginally better than placebo.

yea brain chemistry can't really affect anything, just put on a happy face and everything will be ok

Hope that is a joke....that's like saying "Don't get to angry on a heavy cycle." You don't think you are getting too angry. Hormones totally rule us and there is no such thing as "mind over hormones". Hormones ARE your mind. They control everything about you. Being in love is hormonal, being depressed is hormonal, being angry is hormonal, crying is hormonal. You are a slave to your hormones, bro.

Yup, but a 10-15 week supply of test cyponate (generic) is only about $100 or so with prescription. Why give a highly-effective, cheap anti-depressant that has side effects of muscle gain, increased bone density, increased sex drive, improved recovery/healing rate, etc. etc.?

Instead we can give you a patented oral anti-depressant that might work but will surely give you weight gain, difficulty sleeping, constipation and sexual impotence -- but it's much more profitable

This is one area where capitalism needs a little help IMO.

Depression could not beat me. The only thing that can beat me is myself, or maybe a dude with a gun.
