Low libido and normal testosterone?

This could just be my mental illnesses causing this but, I’m convinced it is something physical as well. I have been seeing an endocrinologist and have an appointment next month. I got blood work done and it shows my testosterone is normal but I have the lowest libido of my adult life? I don’t know what else would need to be checked to see what is causing this. They even put me on Wellbutrin because that is supposed to raise libido and help with my depression. I’m hoping this is all mental and I’m going to get ECT which will hopefully help that but I’m just concerned something else could be malfunctioning in my body to cause such a low sex drive? I’ve heard people talk about DHEA levels and I’m not sure if that could be it? I just want to leave no stone unturned before seeing the endocrinologist and have her test everything that could be effecting me. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome...

I’m 50 and have been feeling some low libido. Started taking DHEA a few months ago and unless it’s a placebo effect I feel that it’s working. I have seen an improvement in wanting sex and getting aroused. Talk with your doctor. I also got a testosterone test and it was a little bit low.

I’m here if I can be of help. Message me with any questions.

Thanks

Check SHBG level and free testosterone level if your SHBG level high cause low libido

high SHBG =low free testosterone =low libido

Total testosterone useless important one free testosterone levels......
