Have you acted out of character, been unable to think rationally due to hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism and impaired thinking
Yes. Aside from brain fog, which inhibits rational thinking, it is known that hypothyroidism contributes to, or causes, some mental illnesses. For instance, google search on "site:hypothyroidmom.com mental illness". Unipolar depression from hypothyroidism is classic.
Thanks, Eddie83. Are you aware of any professionals who have expertise in this precise area of hypothyroidism.

Unfortunately there are very few professionals with expertise in any area of hypothyroidism. That's why so many people are suffering so much. The area you're talking about should be common knowledge in the field of psychiatry, but in reaity, the mental health side of thyroid disease is rarely achnowledged at all.
Can you explain more about why you're asking this specific question?
Pre hypothyroidism diagnosis and in stressful situations I became delusional for quite a long period - 2 years. Completely out of character.
Not uncommon. Has this resolved since diagnosis and treatment?
Yes, when my meds are set at the wrong level I feel very depressed, lack confidence and don't want to do anything. Can't concentrate and have lost my sex drive.
Can anyone tell me what the correct range of T3 and T4 is and in simple terms what TSH is?
Yes I can swing from feeling suicidal to being bright and chirpy with a good sense of humour........still working on balancing my hormones, I'm sure once they are in balance I will feel more 'me' again. I cannot wait for that to happen!
Yep.
Day before my TT, was in Kingscross station, went for a wee, when I came out, I had no idea where I was, what day it was or why I was there...Had similar experiences for the 6months or so before the op..
