A. Yes, depression and even psychosis can be present in a few cases. Depression is quite a common symptom in hypothyroid conditions in particular. If you’re undergoing treatment for a thyroid condition, it’s important that you report any feelings of depression to your doctor. If you’re undergoing treatment for depression, you may want to find out if you’ve been tested for thyroid disorders. Thyroid conditions can affect a person physically, and mentally as well.
