Many men, just like women, suffer from depression as they age.  Unfortunately, a lot of men don’t find the result that they were looking for when taking antidepressants.  The reason for this is simple: men often do not suffer from depression that antidepressants can fix.

As men age their production of hormones tapers off and this can cause depression along with hair loss, weight gain, and more.  Because a lot of men are depressed in association with hormonal loss, hormone replacement therapy is often the answer to depression in men.
