DHEA Supplementation May Improve Midlife Depression
Recent research from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has found DHEA supplementation may be an effective treatment of midlife onset depression. The double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled treatment study was published in the February issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, an American Medical Association (AMA) journal. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is defined as an adrenal androgen and neurosteroid, classified as an over-the-counter (OTC) hormone therapy supplement.
A research team from the Behavioral Endocrinology branch of NIMH studied 23 men and 23 women aged 45 to 65 with midlife onset of depression of moderate severity. The subjects were given either six weeks or DHEA therapy – 90 mg. for the first three weeks and 450 mg. for the second three weeks – or six weeks of a placebo treatment. Researchers evaluated subjects every three and six weeks using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HDS), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale and the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning Scale. They recorded a 50-percent or more reduction of depression, relative to baseline HDS score in 23 patients after DHEA supplementation. The scientists also noted six weeks of DHEA treatment was positively associated with significant improvements in Derogatis scores relative to baseline and placebo conditions.
The study authors wrote...”In the 50 percent of depressed outpatients who do not respond to first-line antidepressant treatment, or in those unwilling to take traditional antidepressants, DHEA may have a useful role in the treatment of mild to moderately severe midlife-onset major and minor depression.”

DHEA...A Naturally Produced Hormone Involved in Building Immunity, Lowering Fat Mass and Increasing Testosterone Levels
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is one of the natural hormones produced in the body by the adrenal glands. It circulates in the bloodstream as DHEA- sulfate (DHEAS) and is converted as needed into other hormones. Significant levels of DHEA do not appear in food, and therefore dietary supplementation may be beneficial because some people may not synthesize enough DHEA.. DHEA levels typically peak in early adulthood. By the age of 60, DHEA levels are only about 5-15% of what they were at their peak at younger ages.
Supplementation with DHEA has resulted in increased levels of testosterone and androstenedione. The conversion of DHEA into testosterone may account for the fact that low blood levels of DHEA have been reported in some men with erectile dysfunction.
Some clinical trials have found that DHEA supplementation lowers fat mass without reducing total body weight. DHEA also helps build immunity. In a recent study, a group of elderly men withlow DHEA levels who were given 50mg of DHEA per day for 20 weeks experienced a significant activation of immune function.
DHEA may play an important role in protecting against depression. After six months using 50mg DHEA per day, “a remarkable increase in perceived physical and psychological well-being” was reported in both men and women in one double-blind trial. In another double-blind trial, after only six weeks of taking DHEA at levels up to 90mg per day, at least 50% reduction in depression was seen in 5 of 11 participants.
