Schizophrenia and testosterone


I did read recently that testosterone supplements might be useful for treatment of schizophrenia. Is this true?

You must be spending a lot of time reading nonsense on the Oprah or Dr Oz channel. Testosterone supplements have been tried out in schizophrenia, but they failed to do anything. In fact the supplement was associated with many undesirable adverse effects. At the moment, if you have schizophrenia, you need to stick to the antipsychotic medications. No reputable doctor is going to give anyone a script of testosterone to treat schizophrenia.
