Feeling Off? It Could Be Your Testosterone.

Are you feeling irritable, anxious, or just not yourself lately? Do you find that your resilience to stress isn’t what it used to be? While many factors can influence our emotional well-being, one crucial element often overlooked in men is testosterone. This vital hormone does more than just build muscle; it plays a significant role in regulating your mood, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.

Recent studies have shown a strong link between low testosterone levels and mood disorders in men, this can often manifest as a feeling of ‘flatness’ which can be subtle. In the UK, it’s estimated that 8-12% of men aged 40-69 have testosterone deficiency, with some estimates suggesting that up to 30% of British men may be affected [1] [2]. With average testosterone levels declining by approximately 1% per year, it’s a growing concern for men’s health [3].

The Unseen Impact of Low Testosterone

Low testosterone can manifest in various ways, many of which are often dismissed as normal signs of ageing. Symptoms such as low libido, reduced erectile function, fatigue, and brain fog are commonly reported [1]. However, the impact on mental and emotional health can be just as profound. Men with low testosterone often experience:

• Increased Irritability and Anxiety: Small frustrations can feel overwhelming, and a persistent sense of unease can take hold.
• Depressive Symptoms: A general lack of motivation, persistent low mood, and a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.
• Reduced Emotional Resilience: The ability to bounce back from stressful situations is diminished, leaving you feeling emotionally drained.

These symptoms can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting your relationships, work performance, and overall sense of well-being. The good news is that identifying and addressing low testosterone can lead to significant improvements.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has been shown to offer numerous benefits for men with low testosterone, including improvements in energy levels, mood, and a general sense of well-being [4]. Furthermore, the largest randomised controlled trial on TRT, the TRAVERSE trial, found no increase in major adverse cardiovascular events, making it a safe and effective option for many men [5].
