Hormone Therapy and Depression Anxiety

A new study reveals that hormone therapy can cause depression anxiety.  A growing number of women and men are receiving hormone therapy for a variety of conditions including menopause, low testosterone, contraceptives, cancer treatment, acne, and more.

The latest study found that patients who were currently receiving hormone therapy for prostate cancer had significantly higher total anxiety and depression scores than patients who had previously received hormone therapy or who had never received hormone therapy.

How Hormone Therapy Causes Depression Anxiety

How hormone therapy causes depression anxiety is by affecting and disturbing the HPA axis homeostasis.  HPA stands for Hypothalmus, Pituitary Gland, Adrenal Gland, the axis is the interconnection between the three, and homeostasis is the balance.

The hypothalmus is the part of the brain where the hormones and nervous system meet, where the regulation of the release of hormones takes place, which affects the proper functioning of multiple parts of the body and brain.

The HPA axis regulates the release of the stress hormone cortisol, which impacts a number of conditions from obesity, to diabetes, and depression anxiety.  Constant release of the stress hormone cortisol leads to inflammation, and damage to the gut, which leads to depression anxiety.

Anything that disrupts or disturbs HPA axis homeostasis, such as hormone therapy, can cause depression anxiety.  It is HPA axis hormonal homeostasis disruption that creates moody teenagers and cranky PMS sufferers.  It can take months after hormone therapy has stopped for HPA axis homeostasis to return to normal.

Hormone therapy is not the only cause of depression anxiety, a condition which has a number of psychological and physical causes.

However, hormone therapy and hormone contraceptive usage may partly explain why 25% of pre and post menopausal women, also have depression anxiety.

Hormone therapy has recently come under fire from physicians groups who claim that it is unnecessary and potentially very dangerous for most women.  Besides depression anxiety, hormone therapy can also cause heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, and blood clots. Report.
