Hello and thank you for the question!
Normal TSH(Thyroid stimulating hormon)values are:Adults,0.4–4.2 microunits per milliliter;Children, 0.7–6.4 mcU/mL.The sipmtoms that you are describing me,help me think of a possible hypothiroidism which is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone.High levels of TSH may cause the thyroid gland to become enlarged and also cause:fatigue,weakness,hair loss,memory loss,irritability,depression etc.Hypothyroidism is completely treatable in many patients simply by taking a small pill once a day,but left left untreated, the symptoms of hypothyroidism will usually progress. I would advice you to consult an endocrinologist to help you better!
Thanks and best regards!
