Here's a whole study on testosterone levels in suicide attempters with bipolar disorder...

Might make you rethink the idea of TRT.
Needless to say, a compound like Trenbolone, notorious for mood disturbances, is probably a bad idea...lol...
Interesting, I wouldn't have guessed there was a correlation between testosterone and mania and suicide. Luckily I've never had a manic episode, I only get hypomanic BPII. When I was younger I had some fairly intense hypomanic episodes but never became psychotic or anything terribly problematic. In the past decade or so my hypomania has been so mild as to be almost unnoticable. One thing though is if I get fairly hypomanic and good feeling I know a big depression and "correction" is coming in a couple days and I will pay dearly for it.
If I ever get on TRT I'll definitely keep this in mind that if I start having some unusually wacky moods that I need to be cautious. As long as it didn't trigger a manic episode or unbelievably bad depression I would likely be fine. I've never been seriously suicidal or attempted it, just felt terrible and been desperate to feel better. I've been having bad depression where I have suicidal thoughts but no intention of ever doing anything or acting on it like some do, that's never been my thought process on how to deal with it. Leaving family behind hurt would just be unthinkable, not really a solution.
