Can taking too much synthroid (thyroxine) (hyperthyroid) cause depression?

Usually hyperthyroid: states result in anxiety or "nervousness" not depression.

Opposite: Generally hypothyroidism would be associated with depression. Technically there is something called "apathetic hyperthyroidism of the elderly" that could cause fatigue and depression but you're not elderly.
