    Really? Depression is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

    If I take too much thyroid meds then I get some symptoms that could be confused with anxiety such as racing heartbeat & palpitations. Similarly, someone I know with an overactive thyroid gets similar symptoms if she forgets her meds.

    I find it very strange that a psychiatrist wouldn't know this and would have thought that thyroid disease should be on a list of things to rule out before saddling people with a mental health diagnosis.

    if psychiatrists ruled out all so called mental health disorders because there are well known reasons for anxiety depression and even hallucinations auditory and visual that would put a lot of them out of work. hopefully medicine will eventually find the cause for each and every so called mental illness .
