Cognitive issues and depression are very common with Hypothyroid. T3 plays a huge role for me there. When I switched from T4 only to Armour Thyroid (which includes T3) the improvement in my depression was dramatic. In addition to TSH and T4, request a test for Free T3. Some people have trouble converting T4 to T3 in which case their blood tests would indicate lower levels of T3 relative to T4.
