I Noah Thomas, the creator of this channel, have been diagnosed hypogonadism by a medical doctor and legally prescribed the medically indicated treatment of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
My Story
My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a medication called VIVITROL and consequently, spiraled into a suicidal depression with depersonalization and anxiety. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who, along with many siblings and friends, had to watch me 24/7 as I was a danger to myself. Eventually I was hospitalized in the Psych Ward for a week. Getting through each day seemed truly unbearable and I knew I would surely die. I have been put on many many different doctor prescribed SSRI's SNRI's Tricyclics, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, holistic meds, acupuncture and even a form of shock therapy called RTMS. I barely saw any improvement in my condition for a full year. It was decided I had treatment resistant depression and I spent nearly every moment in tears. Weeks after starting my newest round of medications (Seroquel & Nortryptaline) as a last ditch effort, I had my blood drawn for possible hormone imbalances and my Testosterone levels came back 200 ng/Dl and 150 ng/Dl. The average 25 year old male has 750 ng/Dl. With this discovery I had an explanation as to why I was not getting better and why I might be so so sick. The symptoms of Low T are very similar to those of major depression. I started legally prescribed testosterone replacement therapy soon after and have been checking in with the world and documenting my experience with treatment as well as giving my insight and perspective on various topics of mental health. I am blessed to say that I have slowly, over the last 6 years, been improving and becoming more stable which I never thought to be possible. My low T manifested itself in the form of Major depression, anxiety, and depersonalization/ derealization for over a year. Treating my low testosterone has been 1 HUGE part of the puzzle but I have had to continue to work hard to hold on to my mental stability with many set backs. Gaining some mental stability back is nothing short of a miracle as I was near death for what felt like forever. I do not consider myself to be totally healed yet but I am closer now then ever before and aim to use what I have been through to help or at least offer support to others in need I was able to successfully come off my Seroquel and Pamelor.
I work out all the time as a part of my mental health recovery!!! Weight training and all kinds of cardio rule much of my free time and I also share this on my channel.

True change comes when this happens: Change happens when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain it takes to make the change itself.
I was sorry to miss your livestream. I applaud your openess and that you have done a lot for the public awareness of men dealing with these issues. I am self admitting into a mental facility soon and returning to meds, all the best you and your Dad during his hard time.
If I hadn't gone to rehab in May 2016, nor had the support of those closest to me, I never would have stopped.
I went to rehab in 2016 aswell, congrats on turning your life around aswell man!
@@carmahfk7399 You too! Not a single drop of alcohol or puff of weed since. Nor other substances. I even quit antidepressants at the same time (but that's a whole 'nother story).
You saved my life 4 years ago. Thank you very much!
Mine too, two years ago. Will forever be grateful to Noah and Dr. Bloch.
I hope all is well and I’m keeping y’all in my prayers 🙏
WOW You look Great! You look Younger, your eyes and skin looks softer. Continue living a non-alcoholic life, it definitely shows that it is working.
I’m an 18 year old and you’ve encouraged me to do something about my low testosterone I’m gonna go get blood work done in a few days👍.
Hello Noah - I have followed you for a while now. With that said - I love your you tube and your dad's = ok so lets get beyond all of the BS - And I know that you are no expert - BUT - I know that I drink too much - I am also in the health care occupation - I am NOT yet physically addicted to alcohol - but am well on my way. Long story short - It makes me feel good. I drink maybe - once every 2 weeks or so maybe less maybe more depending on the circumstance's - but there is defiantly a problem. Sooooo - I do not feel that in patient treatment would help. But I am uncomfortable with telling any professional about my issues - cause I do NOT want it in my health record. On the other hand - I have been seeing a therapist for several years and have just moved a few hours away form there. I HAVE to find a new therapist - Small town, Everyone knows everyone. Help!
