A member asked:
I've been on antidepressants for 3 years. today i was told i might have hypothyroidism, which causes depression. how is the treatment in this case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually both: Hypothyroidism makes you sluggish which may look like depression--I'd add thyroid to the antidepressant if you are depressed
