Could Constant Weight Gain And Depression Indicate Thyroid Problems?
I have always had weight problems, and after being misdiagnosed a few years ago and taking medication, I had gained 40-60 pounds in a month. Since then, I have slowly been gaining weight and no matter what Diet, or program I have been on, nothing has worked. I am 22 and weigh 275. height 5 3. I have been feeling dizzy after eating, never get enough sleep no matter how much sleep or little I get. I have depression that doesn't seem to go away with or without drugs for that. A family member had a thyroid problem and maybe I may have that too, or something else. Can you help?
