Are hyperthyrodism and depression linked?

My daughter was diagnosed two years ago with an overactive thyroid.  Since then she has become very depressed and is now a cutter.  She is currently seeking inpatient therapy.  I was wondering if her thyroid problem is part of the depression issue.  I have been told that by several people.  Please respond ASAP.

hi, I had hyperthyroidism when I was 12. I was depressed and the dr. said it is because of that. but that wasn't so severe. I think it could be related but as you told yourself, this is a part of the issue.
