Suggest Treatment To Cure Depression
I don't have health insurance,and have been very very depressed and tired of late.among other things.My boyfriend thinks it might be my birth control, as we have more or less ruled out hypothyroid..if Mercilon is making me so depressed, what can I take that won't?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
There can be several causes of depression. Two of them you have listed namely, hypothyroidism and hormonal imbalances. There are many more. Thyroid status has to be checked objectively by blood investigations. Mercilon could be the cause of your problems but it would be difficult to confirm the same. If the depressive symptoms have started only after using mercilon then it is advisable you consult your gynaecologist for advice.
Hope this helps
