Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

Iron deficiency can cause anemia which can lead to excess tiredness fatigue. But changes in emotional feelings is not due to iron deficiency.
You either have a problem in thyroid or you are having depression issues.
So get tested for thyroid diaease and if its normal take a psychiatrist consult.
Any clarification feel free to ask .
