Can I get TRT if my test is 600?

Just as the title says. I am 38, been eating healthy and lifting weights my whole life. The only problem is as I've gotten older I've gotten more depressed, lower energy, low motivation, super hard to keep muscle on or build any. For example after going through several bulking and cutting phases I'm only a few pounds more than I was in highschool. I'm also not as strong as I was back then despite lifting consistently. Sex drive is okay, but not great. Certainly not how it was 5+ years ago. Nothing is really.

Anyway, I had my doctor do a test and I was at 600. Unfortunately, they refused to test for anything more like SHBG or free testosterone. That number is just total. I thought it would be a lot lower because of the way I feel. I know TRT is typically for low T, but I'd like to try it based on the reviews I've heard. Is my natural number to high? I've been thinking about this for a while and I'm ready to take the next step. Let me know what my options are. Thanks!
