My husband has Klinefelters disease and depression with anxiety, he is taking a half cc of tostoserone when he used to take a whole cc. As per doctors orders. He is on Zolof for anxiety attacks and his moods changes very quickly. And he also has thoughts of suicide and he is wondering what to do besides going to a physic unit. Has been thru varies kinds of physic counseling sometimes helps sometimes don't. I do not know what else to do. From the depression i am fatigued, no energy, and sleep too much. Thank you

Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Wed 27, Aug 2008 07:40pm:

Hi, The genetic disorder called Klinfelters may or may not be related to some psychiatric disorders such as in your husband's case. I think any ways your husband is on the right course of treatment. However, if the benefit is not complete, you may go back to the doctor treating him and get him re-examined and the drugs re-prescribed, such that a trial to get more relief is done. On the other hand, you must realise that your husband may be undergoing severe bout at present and with time he may improve considerably. Let me know if you any further queries
