Hello.......
Thanks for your query. As you mentioned many of symptoms of hypothroidism like extreme fatigue, generalised weakness can mimic depression. Also sometimes throid disorders can have onset after a still birth. Hence, i would suggest to go ahead with thyroid function tests and consult an endocrinologist. You would also require an evaluation for depression by a psychiatrist. Hope you find the suggestions useful.
