Finasteride: suspected association with depression

A white man in his mid-40s with no prior history of psychiatric problems was treated with finasteride for male-pattern hair loss. Clinical depression developed about 3 months after the onset of therapy. The depression was described as moderately severe but was unresponsive to treatment with various antidepressants. Treatment was maintained for 4 years. Following cessation of the finasteride therapy, the depression resolved in about 2 weeks, and the patient made a complete recovery. A published report has described 19 cases (14 males, 5 females) in whom moderate to severe depression developed during treatment with finasteride (1 mg/d orally) for androgenetic alopecia.1
