DHEA can help midlife depression
Popping a few DHEA pills a day has shown to be 50% successful in overcoming mid-life depression, according to a recent study. The pills were given in 100 mg to 150 mg doses a day to a group of men and women age 57 to 67 who had major or minor depression of moderate severity. The results! 50% ended up happier.
So if seeing that old face staring back at you from the mirror is getting you down, try popping a few DHEA. You have a 50% chance of feeling better! And, unlike prescription antidepressants, you won’t be blackballed if you have to find another insurance plan.
If you’ve noticed that your aging parents are depressed but are not prepared to face that problem, you might try introducing them to DHEA. It’s often marketed as a “fountain of youth” for it’s many positive attributes. They might try it if you can convince them that it will make them feel better “overall”.

Hi Bill,
DHEA is not a “healthy” hormone that everyone should take. In fact, DHEA has side effects, some of which may be irreversible. Since DHEA is converted into testosterone, some women who take it grow body or facial hair and, if they are under age 50 or so, can stop menstruating. DHEA has also been shown to decrease levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol in women, and could increase the risk of heart disease, the leading killer of older women.
