The effect of estrogen and testosterone on happiness and motivation
Research has shown that testosterone levels in men are influenced by success and achievement, with higher levels of testosterone being associated with feelings of happiness and motivation. Similarly, women's estrogen levels can affect their happiness, with normal and healthy levels corresponding to feelings of happiness and low levels associated with feelings of depression and unhappiness. It has been observed that personal relationships and intimacy can lower testosterone in men while raising estrogen levels in women. Additionally, studies have highlighted the importance of trust and dependence in maintaining healthy hormone levels in both men and women. Furthermore, the act of expressing feelings, whether positive or negative, can also affect hormone levels, with sharing negative emotions leading to an increase in estrogen. Overall, understanding the impact of hormones on emotions and recognizing the differences between men and women can contribute to more fulfilling and balanced relationships.
