test levels & depression

[chgolatin-one]

Had some bloodwork done and my test levels were at 298 which the doctor said it was good for early 30's however some tell me that my test levels are low wondering if they are and if low test can be a factor to depression or lack of energy motivation

Thanks!

This has been discussed before but the short answer is
YES low test can lead to depression and lack of energy and motivation!

I'll tell you that I am over 30 and started to experience this. Don't know what my natural test levels are, but I have noticed drastic changes is motivation and sex drive over the past two years. Everyone around me tells me this is normal for a man over 30, but if it is I don't like it at all.

Test is what makes us men more manly and full of vitality. So low test levels could "possibly" lead to lost of energy levels. But first I have to ask are you enemic? Have you ever gotten your "iron levels" checked? Do you suffer or have you ever been diagnosed with having Hypothyroidism? Your question is a bit loaded so it's hard to pin point your right answer.

I have been tested by my physician for just about everything, bloodwork, thyroid, test level, psa, urine etc. Everything came back good! The test levels were 298 but my doctor said that was good..

All I know is that I have been suffering from major depression or something, this shit is real... I dont wish this on my worst enemy...

I had a battle with depression a few years ago, and depression by itself can make you fatigued. Could be anything but you may want to talk to your doc about an anti-deppressant. Lexapro worked well for me, Paxil kills your sex drive. It may be a good idea to visit the counseling forum on here, they might be able to help or at least tell you the right question to ask the doc.
