I'm a little late to the party, but I figure I should include my two cents. You know, all that personal experience I have and all.
Truth is, our thoughts, feelings, they're nothing more than the result of various chemical reactions in our nervous system. If you change the chemicals in that system, you change the reaction.
Hormones have had a huge impact on me, pychologically speaking. I'm less angry and aggressive now than I used to be. I get happier, too. I laugh more and I laugh harder.
I've seen my boyfriend go through the same metamorphasis. I can tell when he needs his T shot because he gets really anxious and pessimistic then. After he's had his shot, it doesn't even take 30 minutes for him to completely turn around and be back to being all cheerful, happy, joking around and playful.
So, yes, hormones do have a huge impact on us.
