Hello,
Thanks for writing in.

Your primary problem looks like hypothyroidism. I am sure you have your T3, T4, and TSH levels.
You have mot mentioned your thyroid levels and if you are taking thyroxine tablets. I would suggest that you also get thyroid ultrasound to look for any surgical cause.

There are many complications of hypothyroidism and you may consult an endocrinologist for proper guidance. Your vision defect may be a result od enlarged pituitary sand your doctor may ask you to get CT scan or MRI scan of brain to be done.

You also take immediate help from a psychiatrist for your depression if it is affectimg your daily activities.

Please consult your endocrinologist and he may change your medicines. His opinion would be final.

Hope this helps.
