There are probably millions of people suffering from depression because of untreated hypothyroidism. And probably millions suffering from depression because of untreated sleep apnea. I have a friend who was depressed for years. He was prescribed Pamelor and it caused suicidal ideation. He was prescribed Paxil and it didn't help. His wife noticed that he would stop breathing in his sleep sometimes, so she made him go to a sleep lab, where he was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. He was given a CPAP and his depression was gone overnight.
