Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You need to take medication for hypothyroidism. For hypothyroidism you need thyroid supplements and not vitamins. Consult a physician for it. Depression can be caused due to hypothyroidism and once your thyroid function will return to normal, symptoms caused by it will gradually improve. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
