A member asked:

How are possible thyroid problems and depression linked?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Related: Hypothyroidism (low thyroid) can mimic all of the symptoms of depression. It is important to have it checked to rule it out as a cause of the depressive symptoms as the treatment is different. With thyroid medication, the depression should improve.
