Hello,
I can understand your concern. Hypothyroidism is a common cause of depression and weight gain. You didn't mention the values of the thyroid hormones, anyway if TSH is even slightly above the normal ranges and the patient does have symptoms of hypothyroidism it is recommend to start the treatment with thyroid hormone.
May be your problems are not related to the thyroid gland, but once you find out to have a raised TSH you need to start the treatment.

Hope this information will help somewhat.
Best regards,
I find this answer helpful
