I think young men would have less anxiety depression more motivation with better diet and lifestyle. Answer would be yes to using testosterone over antidepressants during puberty absolutely as it could help regulate imbalances from growth defection from the environment. However if a young man feels good from diet lifestyle changes maybe waiting till there is a drop in endogenous production would be better. As science does give the option to use androgens if needed in an anti androgenic environment.How bad would it be to use higher scrotal doses of Test (like 25mg twice a day) before 25? There seems to big potential to better ones health using T (I could use the immune boost, higher muscle mass and training capacity (which for me right now is almost zero )), and if the shutdown is only relatively short, the risk seems manageable.
But of course I don't want to risk reduced endogenous androgen production for the rest of my life. On the other hand, couldn't there also be an upside to using it while still developing? Like a more masculinized brain?
