Possibly, but not necessarily. Numerous studies have shown a link between low estrogen and dementia. This would comport with that since excess testosterone is aromatized into estrogen by the body. As a woman, I would think it would depend on the entirety of your hormone picture. If you have high test and chronically low estrogen, aromatizing excess test might not be enough to make up the difference.

There are never any definitive answers that apply to everyone with hormones. Everyone is different. I would merely take this as a sign that all of us should be vigilant about hour hormone levels.
