We pose the question of testosterone therapy could improve his mental health. <strong>Case Report: </strong>A 36-year-old man was admitted to a psychiatric ward after the suicide attempt. An endocrinology consult is requested to address if hormone replacement therapy could improve his depression and future suicide attempts. His past medical history is significant for gonadal agenesis, testicular implants placement at age 16, bipolar type 1 diagnosed 2 years ago before the presentation. The patient received testosterone replacement treatment at age 13 - 15 years. Since that time, he has not been placed on any testosterone therapy. Physical exam revealed minimal axillary and pubic hair, testicular implants with a microphallus. Laboratory values reflect hypergonadotropic hypogonadism consistent with testicular agenesis. He was suicidal and testosterone treatment was deferred. <strong>Discussion:</strong> It is a rare case of congenital testicular agenesis with bipolar disorder which was resistant to therapy. The patient had profound hypogonadism, which needed testosterone replacement therapy. However, the therapy was deferred because of an acute psychotic condition. This case also highlights that there is no strong evidence of the effect of hormonal therapy on mental health in this group. 展开更多
