Hi.

I had severe depression throughout my teens and it affected my testosterone levels. My levels were slightly below normal, but when I came out of depression (im my 20's), my testosterone was in the midnormal range.

Now...

Could this of affected my development (penis size, face, height, etc)? If the cortisol was lower my testosterone wou'dn't it be possible that the cortisol affected my gh too?
