Depression from unexpected places. [View all]
I haven't gone to the doctor for this yet, but I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism from the last blood test I had. It can cause depression and many have been misdiagnosed in that way apparently. The inter-webs say that some have even been misdiagnosed as bipolar from this too... I'm not taking that too seriously but... still.
Hypothyroidism means that my thyroid isn't producing enough hormones... Doesn't all my medication for bipolar mess with my hormones? I wish my appointment wasn't a week from tomorrow. I've been going in circles worrying about this.
