The anxiolytic-like effect of testosterone has been revealed in gonadally intact healthy animals, as well (64–66). Presumably, the different time interval between hormone deprivation and behavioral examination among the studies may result in these differences. In rats, male gonadectomy, either at puberty onset or shortly thereafter, results in lower anxiety in the open area, the behavioral response typical for females (29). These results suggest that the absence of estrogens in females and testosterone in males during the perinatal period restrain the normal differentiation of gender-specific adult anxiety responses to the particular stimuli. The consequences of testosterone exposure and deprivation in males are shown across the life. Sex differences in anxiety-like behavior assessed using the open field, elevated plus maze and marble-burying tests. In some experiments, females show higher anxiety than males (32), in other experiments, the opposite sex difference was proved (33), while the lack of sex differences is published rarely (27).
However, being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder is a completely different story. All of us have felt anxious at least once in our life—particularly when we find ourselves amidst difficult situations. Being anxious is part and parcel of being a human being, and it’s perfectly normal to feel anxiety every now and then.
Lifestyle changes can play a big role in managing both testosterone levels and anxiety.

The sex differences in frequently used behavioral tests for anxiety changing with age, as well as the short- and long-term consequences of testosterone deprivation or exposure in males in different periods of life are illustrated in Figure 1. Based on the sex differences in prevalence of anxiety disorders in human, the role of sex hormones has been intensively investigated. Besides depression, anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, are the most common of all mental disorders (1). A comprehensive evaluation by healthcare providers specializing in both mental health and endocrinology can provide a clearer picture of the underlying issues and guide the development of an effective treatment plan.
