Antidepresant and thyroid, adrenals etc

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I am struggling here and have decided to try st john's wort again. it worked

for me 10 years ago, but since i tried prozac in 2004 it never worked for me.

however now i'm on the testosterone i'm going to try it again, i hear

testsosterone can help antidepresants work better.

i can't think too clearly but here is my question. if st john's wort does help

my depression, it is unlikely to fix any lingering adrenal or thyroid or other

issues is it ? i have heard endo's say you're just depressed to other pepole,

but i am not sure that fixing depression - which i guess could be caused by many

factors - would fix htose hormone imbalances would it?

i would have thought depression would be caused by long term stress and hormone

imbalances and from battling these, rather than 'depression' just causing these

lowered hormones and so on? i appreciate it is a complex interaction but does

this sound right?

thanks
