Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Effect of finasteride on behavioural arousal and somatosensory evoked potentials in fetal sheep

research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

Finasteride can cause sexual problems and depression in young men.
research The efficacy and use of finasteride in women: a systematic review
Finasteride improves hair growth and reduces hirsutism in women, but side effects and optimal dosages need further research.
research Exploring the neural mechanisms of finasteride: a proteomic analysis in the nucleus accumbens
Finasteride affects brain processes related to neurotransmission and metabolism, potentially helping with neuropsychiatric conditions.
research Deoxycorticosterone’s anticonvulsant effects in infant rats are blocked by finasteride, but not by indomethacin
