Hi.
I can understand the plight you must be undergoing through.
First of all get all her Hormone assays done and repeat Thyroid profile.
It looks that the Homeopathy medicines either not working or are causing problems your wife is suffering from .
Get Her started on Thyroxine in an appropriate dose.
Try to get to the root cause and consult a Psychologist or Psychiatrist for counseling only. You need not start on anti=psychotic medicines for such an issue at the moment.
Take her out / go for a family vacation without mobile and away from friends and family, I am sure she will be fine and sexually far more active than you can imagine
