That's great. My step-son's former doctor always had him seen by his NP
and she was frustratingly unknowledgeable. Good to know that isn't
always the case.
It sounds like she's being very thorough. I had terrible depression
that did not respond to anti-depressants, but did to thyroid meds.
Good luck
