I should have qualified my post and apologize. There are some folks who have severe life threatening depression that must be medicated and monitored. I have had moderate depression along with anxiety from time to time, my doc prescribed Lexapro, took it five days and began having electrical shocks in my head. Said no way and quit it immediately. Then I decided to see a psychologist, went for a month or so and finally he asked if I had a thyroid problem and I was on synthroid for years. He recommended an endocrinologist who ran tons of bloodwork, who said you are not depressed you have a rare thyroid condition. He immediately took me off the thyroid medication and within ten days my depression and anxiety resolved.
“He immediately took me off the thyroid medication and within ten days my depression and anxiety resolved.”
That is most interesting.
Can you tell me the “rare condition”?
That’s an amazing story. A good doctor is hard to find.
