This review presents substantial evidence supporting testosterone use for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women, but notes safety concerns with off-label prescribing due to lack of approved formulations.

This study found that the gut microbiota composition in patients with post-finasteride syndrome differs significantly from healthy controls, with reduced diversity and specific microbial changes, suggesting a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

This chapter discusses the sources, classifications, and effects of hormones, their role in disease treatment and food security, and reports no new results.

In this study, finasteride pretreatment led to EEG changes in rats that suggest a mild reduction in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.

In this study, adult male rats exhibited significant anxiety-like behaviors following finasteride withdrawal, including pronounced hyperactivity and novelty avoidance, highlighting potential parallels with post-finasteride syndrome observed in clinical settings.

This review suggests a causal relationship between finasteride, used for hair loss, and persistent neuropsychiatric side effects like depression, citing evidence that fulfills key causality criteria and calls for cautious use along with strengthened regulatory oversight.

Lower family income is linked to more stress in parents and more behavior problems in children.

This source highlights the essential role of androgens in women's health, noting their impact on various body systems and the critical need for more research on androgen therapies regarding side effects, patient selection, and laboratory standardization.

This study evaluated the persistent adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors in men previously treated for androgenic alopecia and highlighted issues with sexual, genitourinary, physical, psychiatric, cognitive, and androgenic health.

This study found that lifestyle interventions improved body composition, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS, but did not affect glucose tolerance, lipid profiles, or clinical reproductive outcomes.

This review discusses the demographic, dermatologic, clinical, and psychodynamic aspects of trichotillomania, exploring its potential link to anxiety but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses OCD spectrum disorders with dermatological symptoms, emphasizing their clinical features, neurobiology, and treatment options, while noting the need for more controlled studies.

This study highlights a complex link between hair care and HFRBDs and suggests that personalized hair care strategies could improve condition management and be integrated into professional guidance by clinicians and hair experts.

This case study identifies early-onset trichotillomania in a 4-year-old girl, treated with behavioral interventions that led to decreased hair pulling and regrowth over three months.

This study found that altering neonatal neurosteroid levels affected anxiety and aversive learning in adult rats, possibly through changes in hippocampal GABAergic functions.

This review discusses trichotillomania's clinical features, prevalence, and treatment options, highlighting the potential benefits of behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that altering Allopregnanolone levels in neonatal rats affects their adult exploratory and anxiety-like behaviors and impairs avoidance learning.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa significantly impacts patients' sexuality, with many experiencing fear of rejection, perceived unattractiveness, and negative effects on relationships and sexual activity.

This study observed that overexpressing TSPO in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice led to significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects, potentially mediated by increased allopregnanolone synthesis.

In this study, higher concentrations of environmental metals, particularly manganese, were linked to worse self-reported attention-related behaviors in adolescents from Italy, with no significant modification of this effect by iron status.
