Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. I can understand your suitation. As body and mind are interlinked, it's a logical connection between hyperthyroidism and depression. As you are going through hormonal imbalance in your body, you are experiencing thyroid issue which influence weight gain and PMS. This inturn triggers mental stress, negativity and depression in your mind.
You may need a holistic approach in addressing both these problems rather just addressing only the symptoms. As I am also an ayurveda wellness coach, I can guide you on the alternate solution that can help you overcome both the thyroid and depression problems together.
Feel free to reach out to me directly or online through Practo app for further detailed evaluation and suitable recommendation of alternative solution. Be positive. You will be alright soon.

Hello,
Hypothyroidism is commonly associated with depression. Get your thyroid levels checked. If the levels are de arranged then your thyroid medication need to be adjusted. If these symptoms persist over weeks then you need to consult a mental health professional. Get yourself assessed to know that are these symptoms are related to anxiety or depression or something else.
Next Steps
Consult a nearby psychiatric clinic. You can contact me for any further help.

Hi
Although they're separate diseases, depression is sometimes a symptom of hypothyroidism. That's when your thyroid gland doesn't make enough thyroid hormone. Medication can boost those levels, and that can improve or get rid of your symptoms, including depression. ... All of that may cause you to feel depressed
Since you are already on medication for that I suggest you consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling to manage these symptoms
All the best
