Androgens are not scribed for depression. Legally they’re considered to be hard drugs. It will take you all of five minutes to get a script for oxy but getting a script for testosterone is very difficult indeed (or was. TRT is more of a thing these days). This is less a medical issue and more of a cultural one.
Testosterone has mood altering effects (as anyone that has had a male puberty can attest). Those effects can be positive but there is no guarantee thereof. This is something you can try without significant difficultly, you will see effects almost immediately, and you’ll have a good idea whether it is a help or hinderance based on that.
This is counterintuitive to me—I haven’t heard of androgens being prescribed for depression. Do you have more information?
