I'm not on TRT. My test levels are usually around 300ng/dl which is pretty low.
I have also thought about the possibility of my depression being linked to low Testosterone but
actually I have already been depressed as a young child and I don't think that at this age depression can be caused by low T. I could also very well imagine that I also have a serotonine imbalance but if SSRI even lower the testosterone further then I'm not really helping myself.
