Depression is one of many
hypothyroidism symptoms.1
Feeling sad when things aren’t going well or after a
major loss is normal. However, sadness or a lack of
interest in doing things that persists for no
particular reason may suggest another cause. If you
are suffering from depression, it may be indicative of
an undiagnosed thyroid condition.
