The hormone progesterone is particularly important since women experience clinical depression twice as often as men. Over the years, I have recommended progesterone cream to women, and it has picked up a nickname from many of them: “The Happy Cream.” Any time progesterone levels drop, such as during the monthly cycle, immediately after giving birth, or all the time if you are in a state of estrogen dominance, depression is a likely result. Using a good progesterone cream can provide an almost instant turnaround in attitude for many people (including men as well).
This brings us to the subject of postpartum depression. During the weeks leading up to birth, progesterone levels soar to 10–20 times normal. No wonder women seem to glow during pregnancy. But immediately after giving birth, their progesterone levels plunge to almost zero. This is why so many new mothers experience extreme, even psychotic levels of depression. Simple supplementation with progesterone will resolve the depression in over 90 percent of cases. In fact, any doctor who recommends antidepressants for postpartum depression without trying progesterone first should be named as an unindicted co-conspirator, since they truly share the blame for any psychotic incidents that may result.
A growing body of evidence suggests that testosterone levels drop as much as 40 percent in men between their early forties and early seventies. And for 10–15 percent of all men, those levels will dip below normal even as early as their thirties due to stress, depression, personal life changes, or medications. This in turn causes a decrease not only in sexual desire and performance but also in the competitive drive to succeed in life, which is frequently experienced as depression. In women, excessive estrogen in the body causes a reduction in testosterone levels, which leads to a similar decline in sexual desire and performance and a similar reduction in 'life drive'—again, frequently experienced as depression."
