A member asked:
Does dhea really help with anxiety and depression and help you loose weight? please i need honest answer?

No: Dhea, and any other over the counter (otc) 'treatments' really are ineffective for anxiety and depression. They have great marketing that dhea is good for everything. Don't believe the hype.

It can: If you have deficiencies in that area it will help. There are many different reasons , some biochemical , some not, that effect the development of a depression for an individual.
