My son was treated for low testosterone and thyroid and his severe depression and panic attacks cleared . he is again happy and cheerful. I would have never thought that it could cause his depression!
here is a talk by a doctor specializing in Hormone Treatments that discusses the successes that hrt treatment had with depression. He treated my son so I can attest to what he says Depression and TRT - YouTube Please get yourselves checked! Its not standard for doctors to check hormones. There is every chance that you can get better! |

I believe I to be on point Especially in my case Before having the natural process take its course (menapause) And be treated seriously and accordingly I had both breasts removed finding my cancer Being put on tamoxifen (stopping all estrogen in my body) for almost seven years and firing my psychotherapist who remarked in his opinion it be a doubious remark I told him I was done with the slew of antidepressants that just was not working Then to find out I have a dna mutation “MTHFR” and in addition learned more than 50% of the population suffers from this mutation As far as HRT my oncologist never introduced it to me or my ailing body and brain I would bring it up and would explain it away It is so difficult to find doctors to listen especially when someone like myself who know her body so well I shall further look into this as it was always a gut thought My children especially my son who suffers extreme depression Just mentioned to him to get his hormon levels checked Awesome to hear your son is doing well After the few very important doctors I have to see one being a vascular doctor I shall venture into the idea Being with the oncologist and still not cleared passed the buck over to my PCD who is also my pulmonary dr This was his remark to me my last visit a week ago “Well now you PCD can do the blood work necessary to check how my cancer is doing” I lost all hope All Thanks for reaffirming my gut thoughts Me

Eva, that doctor in the video treated my son. He is providing his actual observations of his thousands of patients - he isnt quoting a study that could be wrong, skewed. I recall he told my son he would fix him. and he did!!!!! The panic attacks were debilitating as was the depression. 2 psychiatrists and a psychologist diagnosed and agreed he had GAD, severe depression and anxiety attacks - thats a lifetime of potentially harmful drugs and my wife and I were devastated and scared for him. all of this is gone now. we started to see him come out of his shell and be happy and smiling a few weeks into his therapy
I personally know old one older guy 60 a good friend who just recently developed panic attacks and has been depressed for years. I encouraged him to get checked and he was found to have very low testosterone. he is feeling much better now also. I personally know of two other young guys that have been helped also. There doctors would not treat the low testosterone after we encouraged their parents to push their doc to test for it. funny thing is its a medical condition that they wont even treat if they find! Here is a link of a young man who was in a similar situation as my son. He has recovered now after hormone treatment. his hormone issues were caused by concussions as my sons. the doc that treated my son told us depending on the person even one blow can cause issues and of course other things like trauma prolonged stress etc can cause hormone issues that may not resolved over time. Concussions & Mental Health in Hockey | Canlan Ice Sports Scarborough & VIC PARK Low testosterone in men can cause many ailments including depression, panic attacks, anxiety, obsessive/ruminating thoughts, osteopenia ... this is a medical fact. yet I personally know of several situations where family doctors have refused to treat it when found or had to be pushed to even do the tests! we had it happen to us also . i encourage you to read my other posts for more background where I describe minimum tests etc. if you are in the US you can get testing done privately, in the event you cant get things going through your doc. for approx 50 $ your son can get an testosterone and estradiol tests. I will bet a coffee your son has low testosterone. 2 links for private testing are below. the first has all kinds of good info for men and women. Just remember! You wont get the proper help for you or your son unless you go to doctors that do HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Its a narrow specialty. Defy Medical – Testosterone, Hormones, Fat Loss, Estrogen, HRT, Low T Affordable Blood Tests - No Doctor Visit- Most US Cities | Discounted Labs Unfortunately I dont understand womens hormones since I have only been through this with my son but its the same situation as men just different hormones. The first link above has some good info. dont expect any doctor to even mention hormones unless they are hormone aware doctors. they will sure as heck be willing to give you and antidepressant or anti-anxiety pills however ! Let me know if you have any other questions. Also, please be sure to come back here and post any progress or lack of progress in the event it can help others that are suffering!! |

Eva
for your oncology work I have heard good things about RSO Oil (Rick Simpson Oil). A friends son had his cancer surgery and then just after did the protocol. he is doing the maintenance dose of RSO now. He is cancer free for 2 years. I cant say first hand that it works although I think it does from all the stories ive read online when I was researching CBD for my son. Medical Marijuana is legal in Canada. my son used RSO format oil for help with his concussion symptoms. You can research "RSO oil cancer" for articles etc you will see some testimonies on youtube also about how it worked for people. Israeli scientist Kills Cancer With Cannabis | Health News Rick Simpson has been using RSO to do the same for 30 years from what I have read online. I think he said its the THC that kills the cells not the cbd. |

Many doctors have a tendency on making one feel it’s our fault and like myself at a very you age was always aware of my body First sign when I started my menses my third child a female after my sons birth suffers extreme hormonal fluctuations just this past Sunday attempted another failed suicide I can’t keep count and has been put on so may antidepressant that failed and actually hurt her she too has the MTHFR dna mutation that will not allow any antidepressants to work period There aren’t many who are aware of this mutation As it was found accidentally in a study why woman fail to get pregnant or able to keep it as it be ectopic The definition used for this finding causing “neural tube defect” It makes senses with some ailments my children have gone through My eldest deemed epileptic at the age of 22 Her first grandmaul seizure after a few years in the end found where it was emanating from “occipital lone” A tube removed only to be blind and were not successful removing all that needed to be gone it being to close to the other areas of the lobes that control other parts of the body Sad it not to have worked and still in the same place prior to any surgery she is now soon to be 37 soon will be retiring to the hospital for monitoring unit for observation as her seizures are debilitating My youngest born with a double ureter on the right and the left at 30% capacity at 3 months develop a high fever many test and studies in the end at a year old her first surgery to fix and remove half of her right kidney and still suffered uti infection Going back in a second time and roved what is called “mega stump” Again tube related Point I having what is called a “Thyroglossal duct cyst” can only be acquired by my mutation And to find 50% of the population having this mutation I do not know why whe a child is born it be a standard test Because if positive L-methylfolate is what is necessary to begin If left untreated can cause many including mental Depression schizophrenia and so much more escapes me My point I’m try to make as this is a broad causing problem including hormones be my message My entire family on my mothers side five of her siblings have Goiter my mother just recently had her thyroid removed My aunt also My three uncles had not gone as far as my mother and aunt My daughter I speak of now has the mutation And suffered hypothyroidism I am floored at the dots connecting as I learn more and more The interconnection involved and doctors do not take interest This be my experience here in the USA How quickly they dispense antidepressants and not hear we have this mutation therefore they WILL NOT DO ANYTHING You would think they would be interested Not the case Have come across two doctors that have heard of the mutation As it is considered a new finding ten years or less So bottom line there is something connected here as I think of you boys situation and the similarities that are possibly on the same road Only to find someone that is willing to listen Just listen and to connect the dots You are your boys advocate Something necessary in my opinion So glad it was found so early in life To live a “happy” life Your information a treasure And I agree Sharing might just help that next person who is lost Thank you so much for sharing your sons experience There is hope It’s a difficult road with trial and error My father committed suicide at the age of 47 A depressed man as I remember I wasn’t always like this It all came together as I began going through menopause and soon after the two multi level ACDF failing to fuse a year later PCDF

Eva I suggest you visit the defy medical link I sent you and speak to them about tests. you dont have to fight the doctors. i have not used defy but I have seen stories of others who have. They can arrange tests and treatment directly without having to fight through the doctor layers/filters. if you have a hormone issue you will very likely feel better like my son. then when you are feeling better you can consider weaning slowly off the ADs
