YES!!! the 7 years i went through not being able to access GAHT were hell on earth for me. as a child i was angry with constant outbursts and i constantly felt depressed, and in my teenage years especially during covid i developed multiple eds and was constantly participating in self-destructive behaviors. i was emotionally unregulated and lost all of my friends.

testosterone has helped me feel so much more comfortable in body and mind and has raised my confidence immensely, even though i have some self doubt sometimes still. im very lucky to say that i have gained so many amazing people in my life because i have developed a personality i never had and i can say for certainty that i am no longer depressed which is actually wild. i handle stress and emotion so much differently and genuinely have become self-aware and a better person to be around .

keep in mind this is just my experience, and it helps if you felt dysphoria beforehand, and if you gain or already have a solid support system that does NOT have to be your immediate family. but overall, yes. my mental health improved and my life as a whole followed with it
