Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi dear user
I think that your fatigue and your depression or your physical and mental exhaustion may be due to your hypothyroidism.The treatement of hypothyroidism is thyroid hormone replacement therapy(Levothyroxine).
So it is very important for you to take the right dose of Levothyroxine to be in euthyroid state and to controle the hypothyroid symptoms.In my opinion you dont need any treatement for depression because i think it will disappear with the treatement of hypothyroid state
.Anyway my advice is to see an endocrinologist and a neurologist in your area for the right treatement and the follow-up.
Hope i have anwered to your questions.
Best regards.
