DHT is one of the reasons men handle stress better.
Androgens don't just affect muscle and libido. DHT and it's metabolites act inside the brain and suppress parts of HPA stress
DHT reduces stress induced ACTH and corticosterone responses and one of its metabolites 3B diol acts through ERB in the brain to regulate HPA
And systematic DHT does not cause hairloss. It's local DHT in the scalp which is also a (protective response) to the toxins in your scalp eg heavy metals
Mind you. You're also interfering with an androgen/neurosteoid system involved in how your brain responds to stress
