Question:
My Fiancé is transgendered and is being assessed for BPD as well.  He has been in and out of the psych ward, had many suicidal thoughts and actually has tried killing himself a few times, he is known to be a cutter when things get really bad.  And he is on testosterone for his transition from female to male.

Would the testosterone increase his rage?


Dr. Heller's Answer:
Contrary to popular belief, low testosterone in males causes irritability and hostility.  Extremely high blood levels of testosterone can also cause irritability and hostility.  Getting a blood testosterone level (best done in the morning) can give the answer to whether the dose is right.

It's more likely that the BPD is responsible for the rage.  The necessity of proper medical treatment cannot be overemphasized.
