    Keep in mind that docs in diffrent countries ( as well as some in the USA ) , are giving HRT (testosterone) as treatment for depression ...

    Also there are a lot of docs now doing blood work to check hormone levels , when male patients are coming in with depression ( instead of just slamming them on an antidepressants)....

    More and more doctors are ordering blood work see make sure it is not a hormonal problem that might need other treatment along with antidepresants. Remember that antiderpressants take time to work too
