Amazingly, between 1/4 and 1/3 of all depression is thyroid related. Low thyroid is one of the most common of all conditions, so if you are depressed, your thyroid is a likely culprit. BUT, it is sadly all-too-often overlooked and ignored. Even when suspected and tested for, the usual poor-quality test results often miss the true diagnosis. Fortunately, better diagnostic tests are available in a simple home test kit, that you can self-order online. Go to www.ThyroidPower.com
