A doctor has provided 1 answer
All: Just about any physical health problem can trigger some depression symptoms especially in people susceptible or prone to depression . There are certain conditions such as hypothyroid ( low thyroid ) and other medical issues , which are especially known to present as depression. This is why a person who is starting treatment for depression should also have a physical evaluation with blood tests.
