Depression can be a symptom of thyroid disease.
But, even after thyroid diagnosis and treatment, depression can sometimes continue, an unwanted side effect of coping with long-term chronic illness such as thyroid disease. Our Depression Quiz can help you see if you have some of the more common symptoms of clinical depression. A score under 20 is the least likely to point to a depression, 21-35 means depression is likely, over 36 means depression is very likely. This test is not designed to make a diagnosis of depression or take the place of a professional diagnosis, but may give you some insights. If you suspect that you are depressed, please consult with your doctor or a mental health professional as soon as possible, for more help and support.
