What Causes Depression , Fatigue And Low Testosterone Level?

Years ago my Doctor said since I had low testosterone, he would prescribe it to help with fatigue, weight management and depression. I m Now 65, no heart problems, exercise 5 days a week and I m otherwise active. I jog, row, lift and take Taiji classes. CBS news said that two studies show no correlation with heart problems but the government wants to add a warning to the package. My Doctor is still writing the prescription but is not sure what I shoud do. At my age should I and is it safe? Thanks
