If GID is a source of a person's depression, then PM might help relieve the depression as the GID lessens.
Personally, I'm suffering from an especially bad case of seasonal affective disorder brought on partly by being on the graveyard shift for about six weeks now with another six weeks to go. You might also be having issues symptoms of SAD since it is that time of year in the northern hemisphere. I have been on PM since February, probably have dysthymia, and haven't noticed any increase in my usual level of depression other than my usual seasonal depression.
Then again, we are all different. Women seem to be more prone to depression, and they have more E and a lot less T. Lower T in males does contribute to depression. Stress can exhaust your dopamine stores forcing the body to overproduce cortisol until the adrenals become exhausted or fail, and depression sets in. It could be your stressful personal life or it could be the lowering of your T levels, depending on how much it may have fallen.
