Abstract

The author explained the technical terms regarding male climacteric, and also explained male climacteric disorder and male climacteric depression. Before making a diagnosis of male climacteric, we must exclude male depression because both of them can present similar symptoms. In the reports by psychiatrists, the serum testosterone levels of the patients are not measured, and the reports by urologists are not male climacteric depressions but male climacteric disorders. Therefore, we cannot conclude definitely if male climacteric depression is truly present or not. If present, it is "symptomatic psychosis" in terms of psychiatric nosology. In the end, the author described the relations between male depression and sexual dysfunction.
