5α-reductase inhibitors may cause persistent sexual dysfunction and depression, needing more research on long-term effects.
research A Mouse Kindling Model of Perimenstrual Catamenial Epilepsy
Neurosteroids help reduce seizures, but their withdrawal increases seizure activity.
research Overexpression of the 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus produced anxiolytic and antidepressant-like behavioural effects
Increasing TSPO in the brain reduces anxiety and depression.

Medications for benign prostatic syndrome can cause cognitive issues and depression.
research Inhibition of progesterone metabolism mimics the effect of progesterone withdrawal on forced swim test immobility
Blocking progesterone metabolism can cause depression-like behavior in mice.
research Aromatase inhibition by letrozole attenuates kainic acid-induced seizures but not neurotoxicity in mice
Letrozole reduces seizures but not brain damage in mice.
research Alteration of neonatal Allopregnanolone levels affects exploration, anxiety, aversive learning and adult behavioural response to intrahippocampal neurosteroids

The posterior cerebellum helps maintain balance by adapting to sensory inputs and self-motion.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.

Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Activation of extrasynaptic δ-GABAA receptors globally or within the posterior-VTA has estrous-dependent effects on consumption of alcohol and estrous-independent effects on locomotion
δ-GABAA receptors affect alcohol consumption based on the estrous cycle and influence movement regardless of the cycle.
