u have hypothyroidism and 50% hypothyroidism has depressive symptoms
1st thing require is to maintain ur thyroid level within normal limit
2nd thing u have to take medicine for depression too for atleat short period of time
tab escitalopram 10 mg will help u
if u have sleep dis than add clonazepam 05 mg at bed time
do regular exercise
take proper sleep
do meditation
give time to ur hobbies and pleasurable things
do communications
if required than consult psychiatrist
get well soon
