Steroid deprivation in general leads to depression- post partum depression, etc. Steroid administration leads to a type of 'euphoria' or well being - 'steroid high'. The link between steroid levels and mental status is an old story. The question becomes what was the patient's testosterone before ablation was initiated and how far did it fall. This value may be the more relevant predictor. So, patients who already have a low T(<150) might not be at risk for altered cognitive function though no one has really looked at this.
