Re: Dealing with Depression

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I was told Hypothyroidism definitely causes depression. I went 2 years

suffering without being diagnosed but was put on anti-

depressant 'lexapro', as soon as I was diagnosed the nurse practitioner

that had prescribed for me said 'oh you won;t need that anymore,

thyroid hormone replacement will fix that..

Long and short of it..I got off the lexapro after being on it 2 and

half years unnecessarily..if I'd been diagnosed properly I would have

been put on Armour..

I've been off it more than 3 years now. Have to say in the last 6 weeks

there have been hours when I have felt like I was dipping back into

depression but that is because of lack of balance in my Adrenals and

thyroid and lack of understnading and help from the medical world here

in Ireland that I have been subjected to!. This forum has kept me back

from the edge big time.

Wishing you the very best speedy recovery,

Sara

Depression can be directly related to low T3 . Once you get thyroid into

the cells better iot shoudl dissipate.
