Great book. I have suffered from depression my whole life(I'm 44). I've taken every type of depressant medication with no resolution.I've had my TSH level checked, but they were'normal'.But as the book suggested(there are several 'Steps'the authors give on Testing and Diagnosis) I took my armpit temperature before I got out of the bed in the morning,five days in a row my temps. always run well below 98.6(97.3avg.)they should run between 97.8-98.2 in the morning BEFORE you get out of bed and start moving around. This motivated me to find a doctor who knows about thyroid issues and is willing to prescribe if needed Natural Dessicated Thyroid and T3 as well as T4 Hormones. Depression runs in my family:my mom,my brother and myself. This book showed me how important thyroid hormones are and what their purpose is.The authors pointed me in the right direction. I highly recommend 'Depression & Your Thyroid:What You Need to Know'if you want to educate yourself about the relationship between Hypothyroidism and Depression.

Thyroid and psychology are often linked, with the condition of one influencing the other and often creating a circular path of deterioration: that's the message of DEPRESSION & YOUR THYROID: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, which provides a handbook of understanding hypothyroidism and its effects on mental health. From causes of hypothyroidism - which are many and varied - to various treatments, including home remedies, DEPRESSION & YOUR THYROID is an important guide.
