I couldn't agree more, but just try getting most physicians to run the labwork required to rule out hormonal (or other!) causes to mood problems. Some doctors I've seen along this path began to treat me without bothering to check my thyroid gland!
I've come back subclinical hypothyroid and with testosterone levels well below average for my age (but not in an alarm zone) and no doctor I've been able to see with my coverage will entertain the idea of doing anything about it.
Sometimes I wonder if messing with HPA function would help restore me to functional. (Hell, my Mom has some Decadron she doesn't appear to need anymore! But no, I couldn't really do that. I wouldn't even know how to dose it.)
