Desperate for advice regarding depression taking testosterone
Hey folks, I desperately need some advice. I have a friend who is taking HRT (which doesn't seem to be helping much) but due to various circumstances *life in general* has become worryingly depressed. She is nervous of telling the doctor about the depression as they have agreed to put her on testosterone which she feels she really needs, but is worried they won't let her take both.
I really believe she needs some medication to get her back on track mentally but I don't know if there are any rules around this, or even if the testosterone will help or hurt her mentally bearing in mind how close to the edge she is.
Does anyone have any advice/experience with this that might help?
Thank you in advance
A worried friend
