Hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
In your there may be multiple reason like hormone imbalance after menopause or metastatic change in thyroid gland or may be due to certain drugs. You should get your thyroid profile done to rule out hypothyroidism and consult a physician for further query. If it is due to hypothyroidism then you would improve with thyroxine hormone otherwise you can go for antidepressants.
