Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased testosterone and oxytocin production are not considered reliable biological markers for depression. In fact, some studies have found conflicting evidence on the association between testosterone and depression, and oxytocin is more commonly linked to social bonding and attachment than to depression. Meanwhile, decreased activity in the left prefrontal cortex, decreased monoamine activity, and disturbance in normal biological rhythms are all considered potential biomarkers for depression.
