What are some ways to get help for a male who does not admit they have bi polar disorder? A male who shows all the signs, but is not accepting that they need professional help..

An addition to bipolar,major depressive disorder, and dysthymic disorder (listed in the above article), low testosterone is another reason for feeling low and depressed. I found these statements about this subject on a site called reNEWMAN. the site is http://renewman.com
It says:
Testosterone levels start to decline in the late 20’s. Most men will feel the effects of lowT beginning at about age 35. Symptoms include the following:
* Depression, or loss of eagerness and enthusiasm for daily life
* Low energy
* Decreased mental quickness
* Decreased desire for physical activity
* Decreased desire for intimacy – reduced sex drive and function
* Decreased muscle tone
* Weight gain, increase in body fat, particularly around the mid-section
* Night sweats and trouble sleeping
* Mild to moderate irritability, including mood swings
I found this very interesting, and will continue to do research.
