Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic
Thyroid deficiency is closely associated with psychiatric problems., particularly depression. The symptoms like fatigue, loss of energy, constipation, puffiness of face etc are seen with thyroid deficiency. You need to be started on thyroid supplementation and antidepressants if required. Consult a good psychiatrist for advise. You will get back your previous energy and interest in life. Take plenty of fluids.
Thanks and regards
