The Over-looked Link Between Mental Illness And Thyroid Disease
Very interesting grey goose.
After my recent experiences this is a subject I am at present exploring.
Thank you.
You're welcome. 
It's only when I started on thyroid replacement did my crippling anxiety stop. Now my Endo wants to halve my dose when he insisted it was ok to take blood on a day Id taken my armour! I dropped to 1.5 grains (not 1 like he wanted) and in came my old friend anxiety. I tried 1 3/4 yesterday and found it difficult to fall asleep last night. It's so frustrating
I think you ought to change your endo, this one is not going to make you well!
If only. Not sure you can pick and choose on the NHS x
Sorry, Don't know, but you can't stay with him! What a moron!!!
Worryingly, he heads up the department. I don't think he's overly happy that one of his team has prescribed me armour. He's saying he doesn't believe I am hypo despite family history and he's omitted my under range (even by NHS standards) T3 instead he focuses on TSH and T4
That is bad. He must be keeping a lot of other people, sick, too.
Of course. I feel trapped but that's me and a million orhers
Never considered self-treating?
I will if he starts getting stroppy but I only work 3 days a week as my youngest is only 2 so I feel guilty doing any more although things are getting tight now thanks to the ridiculous cost of child care x
It's difficult, isn't it. But it might be a good investment to get your health back.
I know, daft thing is I was fine on 2 grains. I will continue on this dose and have that blood test under the right circumstances this time! Just hope I'm right to do so otherwise I will get another snotty letter!
Well, you know what they say : sticks and stones may brake my bones but words will never hurt me! Let him write his snotty letters if it amuses him. What do you care if you feel well?
Definitely connected, I believe years ago people ended up in mental institutions........I have also read articles where t3 is used in phsyciatry (?) They have massively overlooked the importance of thyroid thanks to that simple one pill sell! Small rant but over lol! X
Thanks again Greygoose for this article,,I am becoming much more aware that it's the overall picture of my health and that is important,not just isolationing one label,hypotyrism ,everything is much more interlinked,feel more Empowered too if I can bring evidence based questions, to the doctor I will feel feel less like like sheep who blindly goes along with things,
Drat the sunshine has gone today in Paris,it might come out later,
Wishing you a lovely day,so nice to hear from you again
No sunshine in the Oise, either, Murphy! Have a nice day!
Thanks for this. I think there is a massive link between mental health and thyroid levels. Many years ago my grandmother was sectioned and subsequently found to be severely hypothyroid. Would be so much better if doctors looked further than labelling everyone with depression. I may have got tested before my TSH reached 132 if they did!!!
So true, Grey. There is so much of this. I have no faith in doctors at all. I know they the best thing we have, but they don't know your body yourself -- only you do!
My Dad had CHF and I remember meeting his heart doctor. I couldn't believe it. I asked her if my Dad was dying and she told me no. And then next thing I know, a week later, he died. I went and saw her after that and told her, "You damn well knew my Dad was dying and never bothered to tell our family." I also told her, "She is a disgrace to society and God will sit you down one of these days." Those were my words to her. And I walked out. She knew Grey. And oh, the part i left out, she must have weight 300 pounds, too. And she's a heart doctor! Just wow! I have nothing against over weight people but she is a heart doctor and we both know being 300 pounds surely doesn't set a good example at all!
And then with my diagnosis not being found until in my 40s. I pray that never happens to anyone now, but I know it's going on still. And I hope to accomplish, in this life, striving for that not to occur any more. Maybe before we close our eyes in this world we see a cure for all of this.
HAVE A NICE DAY EVERYONE AND KEEP REACHING FOR PEACE!!!!!
Love, Debber
