A short YouTube clip by Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes outlining medical and lifestyle causes of depressive symptoms beyond cognitive patterns. She lists examples (hypothyroidism, anemia, hormone imbalances, dehydration, sleep apnea, unresolved trauma) and recommends physician evaluation if depressive symptoms persist despite counseling.
Hey there, everybody. It's Doc Snipes. Today I'd like to discuss some of the things that may cause depressive symptoms besides just your thinking. Those things may include hypothyroid anemia, hormone imbalances, dehydration, sleep apnea, or even unresolved trauma. So if you have depressive symptoms and they don't seem to be getting better, even with treatment with a counselor, one of the things you may want to consider is getting an evaluation by your physician.
