Hello, I am 22 years old, male, my weight is 63 kg, height 163 cm and i'm from romania. I wanted to know if it normal to have the level of total testosterone of 11.58 nmol/l (333.99 ng/dl) at my age. The free testosterone is 13.04 pg/ml. I want to mention that during this period I come back after a rather severe depression. And in the last few years I had some depressions for somewhat trivial reason. I have the cholesterol increased to 250.3 mg / dl and I have gained weight. This time I was helped out of depression by antipsychotic (zyprexa) and antidepressant (cipralex) medication. When I started taking this medication my weight was 50 kg and now i'm 63. My libido is almost non-existent and I my boobs started to grow a little. I don't know if my depression caused the low t or the low t caused my depression.

You can check the testosterone normal range from the internet, yours is little above borderline. But stress and testosterone level has some relation. But low libido is not only due to testosterone level it's only one of the reasons, but I can also suggest you alternate therapy on discussion positivity and gratitude will play a big role in improvement.

Your testosterone level is low, total cholesterol is high. It could be that your low testosterone and high cholesterol levels are a result of being depressed which is more likely considering your lifestyle that becomes when you are depressed than the other way around. Nevertheless, initiating treating for the low testosterone level as well as the high cholesterol level would be helpful. Look forward to hearing from you.
