You’re exactly right that the mental effects of testosterone have been greatly exaggerated. People with genuine hypogonadism who receive TRT into normal levels will see some improvement, but it’s extremely common on TRT forums to see people who started TRT with the assumption that it would fix all of their various mental health quirks but then become disappointed when it doesn’t live up to the hype.
> I got lucky in that my response to TRT puts my testosterone up around 1,100ng/dL which is around twice what the average person has.
I wouldn’t characterize this as “lucky”. You’re on the wrong dose. Excess testosterone can cause its own set of mental health issues, particularly if the downstream hormones aren’t kept in check. The sustainable solution is to go back to a normal TRT range and keep your dose there.
