Depression Is Caused by Low Testosterone Levels

Depression can be a real consequence of low testosterone levels because not only does testosterone produce the drive and energy for our sexuality, fertility and body features including the muscle mass that we need, it is also the driving force behind our energy levels and achievement in life. Men with high levels of testosterone have high senses of achievement and they push themselves harder, having a more aggressive outlook on life. It is simply not possible for a man with a higher normal testosterone level to have a depressed outlook on life - it is not remotely possible. Indeed, it is the low levels of testosterone that lead him to despair, and to shut out life and outside connections, to refrain from the exercise needed to keep depression at bay.
Depression is the most serious of mental illnesses because it is the most widespread, and yet exercise rather than anti-depressant drugs is the simple and most effective cure. The reason why exercise works where drugs rarely do is that the exercise rebuilds the testosterone level back towards normal. And the old adage that the more we earn the more we spend is equally true to the more we do the more we want to do. Avoiding depression is no more difficult than adopting a healthy diet of organically grown foods which don't have the poisons, chemicals and additives that food corporations use and which inhibit testosterone production, as well as maintaining a regular daily dose of diet supplements including testosterone boosters and finally, doing some short-burst and intense muscle-burning exercise to tell the brain you need more testosterone to deal with the stress of the intense exercise. You will soon feel much healthier mentally not just because of the sense of achievement from the exercise - in fact you will feel healthier because you just got a hit of free testosterone triggered by your brain.
