George - In addition to the many papers smurtaw has linked in his response, this one from several months back might also be of interest to anyone considering a 5 ARi. It is not specific to PCa usage, but still relevant for anyone using dutasteride or finasteride.

Here is link to MedPage Today article:

5-ARIs Not Linked to Risk of Dementia Over the Long Term — However, finasteride and dutasteride were associated with an increased risk of depression, MedPage Today - Urology/General Urology, by Kristen Monaco, Staff Writer, MedPage Today December 22, 2022

I'm currently taking dutasteride, so if I start sounding like I'm depressed, begin jumbling my sentences, or disappear from HU altogether, you'll know the cause.
