A reader tells us, "I was suffering from severe depression, would fall asleep at work, had no interest in life or sex, and was rapidly gaining weight in spite of a poor diet. Many physicians whom I consulted, in New Delhi and in London ( I am English, and London is my home town ) told me it was all in the mind, that I was depressed because I had married an Indian, that it was all due to a different life style or a different diet or a different climate or a combination of these and that I was putting on weight because I was overeating because of depression. They gave me pills for depression and asked me to attend Over Eaters Anonymous meetings. I went to Dr. Sahgal without much hope. A close friend nagged me constantly to consult him. He believed my story and ordered a fistful of hormone tests. Three days later the results came, and I had my answer. I was suffering from Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Dr. Sahgal prescribed a combination of T3 and T4 medication. Thirty year later I am still normal weight, travel all over the world, take a keen interest in my grand children and enjoy playing with them and lead a very active social life. This is so different to the life I was leading earlier. I shudder to think what would have become of me if I had not gone to Dr. Sahgal because of my friend’s nagging (God bless her!)."
