Irritable Male Syndrome
Irritability & Mood Swings in Men
IRRITABLE MALE SYNDROME
Aging can be a difficult process for men, but it becomes harder due to mood swings caused by low levels of testosterone and HGH. Studies have shown that being irritable is usually a sign of hormone imbalance, and men over age 40 are more frequently affected.
Irritable male syndrome (IMS) is a diagnosis that describes men with severe mood swings. The lower levels of testosterone or HGH result in higher stress levels, which in turn cause inflated cortisol levels. You may be suffering from IMS if you find yourself having some of these symptoms:
- Anger at self or others
- Impatience
- Sarcastic or constantly pessimistic
- Anxious often or constantly
- Tension or not being able to relax
- Hostility or overreacting
- Argumentative
- Unloving
- Easily frustrated
- Withdrawn
- Demanding
- Defensive
- Sad
- Dissatisfied
High estrogen levels also induce IMS, as it means there are lower levels of testosterone or HGH. Both stress (higher cortisol levels) and weight gain are associated with low testosterone and low HGH. Men with higher cortisol or estrogen levels and low testosterone or HGH levels are prime candidates for IMS.
