Article Synopsis
- Mental health issues like anxiety and depression are on the rise globally, and this study looks at how cortisol and sex hormones affect mental health in healthy middle-aged adults.
- The research involved 73 participants aged 45-65, where various hormone levels were measured alongside self-reported mental health metrics using established surveys.
