My boyfriend is using non-prescribed Decanabol along with testo once a week for his surgery-induced scoliosis, but he's been really struggling with depression, severe irritability, and personality changes. I'm worried about how these steroids might be affecting his mental health could this be a side effect?

First of all you should ask your boyfriend to consult his doctor for prescription as it's never good to self medicate... Steroids do induce Depression, psychosis, personality changes etc..also testosterone products can induce Psychosis...So the PPT factors for your boyfriend's situation are there...I advise you to consult a psychiatrist also for detailed evaluation and Management of the case... Regards..Hope it helps...

I'm really concerned because I've been masturbating every day and I'm not sure how to stop. Could this be affecting my sex life, and do I need any medication to help with this? What can I do to stop masturbating so much?

Masturbating daily is generally not harmful unless it interferes with your daily life, relationships, or well-being. To reduce or stop, try engaging in healthier habits like physical exercise, focusing on hobbies, or practicing mindfulness. If it's causing distress, consulting a healthcare professional can help to explore further options or counseling for behavior management.

I've been struggling for over ten years with what I suspect is depression. I'm 29 now, and for a long time, death was something I constantly thought about, though I never went through with any plans because I couldn't bear the thought of hurting my dad. That frustration was tough. Lately, I've stopped thinking about ending it all, but I still feel like the desire to live is gone. Nothing makes me happy, and even when I'm around others, I feel incredibly alone and often find myself on the verge of tears. It's like I'm sad all the time, and small things really hurt me. I'm having a hard time accepting quarrels and fights within my family. Is this something that can be helped? Should I be seeking specific advice or treatment?
