Posted in: Hypothyroidism, and General Discussion.
Ever since I was little, I always struggled with my weight. Im 16 now. I was never fat but I was always chubby. I always had to watch what I ate even at a young age to control my weight. I am always tired. I am diagnosed with depression and bipolar and had two suicide attempts and constant mood swings and grogginess. I've had a bad case of gynecomastia (man boobs) starting as early as age 10 and its still there. Do you think I have a thyroid problem? I would like to get off the meds for the bipolar and depression and focus on the root of the cause - that is if I actually do have a problem with my thyroid. And if you think I do, should I talk to my doctor or see an endocrinologist, what should I say?

Get a TSH test. If you do have a thyroidproblem.....
The thyroid is a complicated gland. I see many people who only take SYNTHROID with T4 who still suffer from weight gain and depression.
I have had great personal improvement in taking other thyroid medications. Consider

(identical to human thyroid hormone)
