The neuroscience of positive emotions and affect: Implications for cultivating happiness and wellbeing
2021, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In aging men, decreasing testosterone levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression (Barrett-Connor and Kritz-Silverstein, 1999), and one in three women experiences anxiety and depression during menopause (Mishra and Kuh, 2012). To restore and maintain wellbeing and life satisfaction, supplementation of estrogen in perimenopausal women (Shaukat et al., 2005; Soares and Cohen, 2001) or of testosterone in aging or hypogonadal men (Alexander et al., 1997; Jockenhövel et al., 2009; Pope et al., 2003), reportedly increases mood, alleviates depressive symptoms, and/or increases sexual satisfaction. Whereas a recent U-curve model proposed that excess or deficiency of gonadal hormones increases mood and anxiety symptoms (Mueller et al., 2014), a converse model to explicitly address the contribution of gonadal hormones to positive emotions is at-large.

2014, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :For instance, preliminary studies in transgender individuals have documented sexual behaviour before and after sex reassignment surgery (Wierckx et al., 2011). Similarly, other studies have reported that testosterone supplementation in androgen-deficient men decreased symptoms of depression and simultaneously increased sexual arousal (Alexander et al., 1997). However, further evidence of how gonadal steroid replacement affects cognitive processing of sexual stimuli may provide valuable information on how quality of life and sexual health can be enhanced in affected populations.
