Diganosed with major depressive disorder and general aniexty disorder. Along with that the blood test showed that I had vitiman D defiancy and my thyroid was high by a little?? I was confused on that part its says my t3 uptake was 48.5H does your levels being a tad bit high effect mood and stuff? And what if it gets higher or how to prevent from getting higher?

    Being high would certainly affect anxiety.  Usually they give beta blockers for palpitations and high heart rates along with the thyroid hormone blocking drugs.  Many of us have vitamin D deficiency and Vitamin D is important to thyroid functioning so I take between 1,000 and 5,000 IU a day of vitamin D gel caps.

      Yes they gave me vitamin d 50,000 iu to take once a week for 8 weeks. But nothing for the thyroid. I'm guessing because it wasn't that high so it's ok? I don't know I'm just confused. If it can effect the mood even if it's high by a smidge because I suffer from anxiety which leads to depression.
