Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You mentioned about TSH value being normal. What about Free T4 levels? Hypothyroidism can exist even with a normal TSH (central hypothyroidism) and hence it may be good to do a Free T4 level also. Depression can also mimic many symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Binu Parameswaran Pillai
