question from a user

Are there any mental health conditions that you wouldn't prescribe trt to?

AlphaMD's Answer

The providers you'd see through AlphaMD wouldn't say that, no. Typically anxiety, depression, self confidence issues, and body dysmorphia or body image issues can be a results of having low Testosterone for many men due to the physical effects it has on the body/their bedroom performance. In these cases although Testosterone isn't a direct treatment for it, depending on the cause, it can help significantly. Other than that there's no real reason to delve into other mental health areas, since the providers on the platform focus on TRT rather than primary care or mental health treatment.
