I have been battling depression, anxiety, stress, and irritability for years. I recently got pregnant, got married, graduated from nursing school, and got a job. Oh yes, and we built a house. WOAH! Im exhausted just writing about it. I have been unsuccessfully treated with several antidepressants and the more research I do I find a common correlation between thyroid issues and the symptoms I have described above. My mother has hypothyroidism and take synthroid every day. I am beginning to wonder if my medication is not doing its job is because we have not considered a thyroid problem... However, I have also read that you have to be specific when asking for thyroid levels to be drawn.
His understand your concern. Yes there is correlation between thyroid and depression. If you have hypothyroid then it is must treat it with medicines along with antidepressant. Only antidepressant can not help much. If you are vegetarian then add vitamin B 12 for better control. There are many other options for treatment like add on medicines with other group of Chat Doctor. ECT is also alternative for resistant depression. Get well soon. Thank you.
