If you need to be on TRT your feelings of depression will go away your Thyroid to me is low both Free T 4 and 3 should be up in the top of the range. You lower then mine was and I am on Armour. What your Dr. called normal for your cortisol test may still be adrenal fatigue post your tests with the range's. A good way to tell how your Thyroid is take your temp in the morning before getting out of bed under your arm for 10 min.'s if it's below 97.8 you low.

Does this mean I can forget about taking any SSRI?
Or do I need TRT+SSRI?

I had my cortisol levels tested one time. It was a 24h cortisol test and the result was normal.
I also had my thyroid hormones tested and they were also normal, at least my doctor said this.
He also did an ultrasound and said that the thyroid looks normal and is not enlarged.

TSH 1.71 Norm 0.4-2.5
fT4 pmol/l 16.8 Norm 10.3-24.5
fT3 pg/ml 3.0 Norm 1.8-5.2
