Doctor Says I Am Depressed ,but Why Do Not I Feel It?
Doctor says I am depressed ,but why don't i feel it? I went to the doctors a few months ago and he said I was depressed. I am not thinking of suicide , I don t sit around and cry. I want to get out and do things but my body does not let me. I am having a hard time breathing, chest pains, heart palpitations, weight gain and loss of energy. Why can t they figure out what is wrong with me?
Have you had your thyroid checked? The symptoms you're describing are often signs of a thyroid issue, which is frequently misdiagnosed. Ask for a blood test to check your thyroid hormone levels, as well as to check for hashimotos disease.
