So I've been suffering from anxiety, depression, fatigue, lack of motivation etc for the last few years now and only now am I realizing that it may be down to something. So I had a blood test done and my doctor tells me I have a borderline underactive thyroid which explains the depression and tiredness but doesn't explain the anxiety I've been having, my thinking is that it may be down to low testosterone levels too but I don't know how to read these results so I was hoping some of you could tell me what I should be prying after when I go to my appointment on Friday. Sorry if the results are messy, I had to type them out. Thank you!
