Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Having bipolar depression can be difficult and having hypothyroidism and diabetes along with it can be taking a toll on your mental health. I am glad that you are going to visit with a doctor soon. Sleep issues and hot flashes may be related but the state may become better with improvement in your mental health. Visiting with a psychiatrist might be helpful to a great extent. I also think that reaching out as you are doing is also important. I also hope that you get on medications for the disorder that you are experiencing.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
